“Michael leaves behind a legacy of transformation and growth at Vail Resorts,” said Rob Katz, executive chairperson. “He played a central role in the company’s expansion nationally and globally through the acquisition and integration of 34 resorts across four countries and was an integral part of the team as we re-imagined many parts of our business, including elevating and scaling our financial organization and capital allocation efforts. We are fortunate to have benefited from his incredible expertise and leadership, and both me, on a personal level, and everyone at Vail Resorts, we wish him all the best in the next part of his life’s journey.”
