SAM Magazine—Teton Village, Wyo., May 31, 2024—Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) chief financial officer Matt McCreedy will retire on June 30 after more than three decades at the resort. Corporate controller Braden Turner will succeed McCreedy as the resort’s new CFO.

Turner is a licensed CPA who has served as the resort’s corporate controller since November 2022. He previously spent four years working at global business consulting firm Deloitte and then held various financial leadership roles for Rossignol prior to joining JHMR. 

Turner is taking over for McCreedy, who began his role as the resort’s CFO in 1992, the year the Kemmerer family bought JHMR. During his time, McCreedy played an instrumental leadership role in transforming JHMR into a world-class destination.  

McCreedy was also actively involved across the Jackson Hole community, including roles on the boards of the Teton Village Resort District and JH Air. He also oversaw the development of multiple employee housing units and the Stilson North Housing Development and the Stilson parking lot.

“Matt is a major reason for the success of the resort over 32 years,” reflected former owner and current board member Jay Kemmerer. “His steady and professional hand with accounting, budgeting, audit, insurance, banking, management information systems, and technology all were done very well. Bravo, Matt.”

“We congratulate [Matt] on his retirement and thank him for his vision and all that he has contributed in building our resort,” added JHMR president Mary Kate Buckley. “Matt’s leadership has helped the resort expand in every facet of our business, and we would not be what we are today without his leadership. We wish him well as he shifts his focus to more time skiing, fishing, riding bicycles and traveling with his wife, Kari, who also worked for JHMR for over 20 years.”
