Caesars Entertainment is appointing Kim Harris Jones to its Board of Directors.
Executive Chairman of the Board Gary Carano hailed Harris Jones as a “tremendous addition” to Caesar’s leadership team and the company says that she will bring a unique perspective and in-depth experience to the role.
Effective April 29, subject to required approvals and pending licensure, Harris Jones will become the tenth member of the Caesars board.
“With her extensive experience in finance and a reputation as a thoughtful and engaged leader inside some of the largest consumer-packaged goods and automotive companies, Kim’s addition will give us another lens through which to see stronger, more dynamic future possibilities for Caesars Entertainment,” commented Carano.
“I’m pleased to count Kim Harris Jones among our Board of Directors,” added Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg. “Kim shares our vision for strategic, collaborative innovation. She has outstanding experience navigating complex issues and implementing transformation for optimization.”
Harris Jones served as Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller at Mondelez International until 2015 where she helped guide the company following its spin-off from Kraft Foods.
Before this she spent over 20 years in the motor industry, starting at General Motors before joining Chrysler where she held a number of leadership positions.
In her career, Harris Jones has been featured on lists of the most influential black corporate directors in publications such as BoardProspects Magazine, Black Enterprise Magazine and Savoy Magazine.
