Lynch is a member of the board of directors of Stitch Fix, Inc., (NASDAQ: SFIX) and in 2019, she was named to Forbes&#8217; CMO Next list, recognized as one of the top 50 game-changing marketing leaders. Lynch grew up in <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span>, first skiing at the age of six at now Vail Resorts-owned Wilmot Mountain. She currently lives in <span class=\"xn-location\">Boulder, Colorado<\/span> with her husband and two children. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over her 10 years with the Company, Kirsten has been responsible for the transformation and success of Vail Resorts&#8217; data-driven marketing efforts and a primary driver of the Company&#8217;s growth, stability and value creation,&#8221; said Katz. &#8220;In addition to having an incredible business acumen, Kirsten is one of the most passionate, driven leaders I have ever worked with. Her tremendous enthusiasm for the long-term vitality of our sport and a very high commitment to leadership development within our Company will make her an outstanding leader of Vail Resorts. Kirsten will also be surrounded by an extremely strong and tenured executive team.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is an honor to lead Vail Resorts as CEO and build upon Rob&#8217;s legacy of reimagining the mountain experience,&#8221; Lynch said. &#8220;I am passionate about this Company, the leadership culture we have built and our 55,000 employees who make Vail Resorts the industry leader. Looking forward, I am excited about the incredible growth opportunities for Vail Resorts and committed to making our sport and our Company more diverse, inclusive and accessible. Together, we will grow our business, innovate and continue to work toward our mission of creating an <i>Experience of a Lifetime<\/i> for our guests and employees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Katz was appointed to the Vail Resorts board of directors in 1996 and named chief executive officer in 2006. As executive chairperson, Katz will remain a Vail Resorts employee and director, advising both Lynch and the board on long-term strategy and critical priorities. While he is stepping down from the day-to-day operations of the Company, he will be actively engaged in key strategic projects and decisions. He will also remain involved in Vail Resorts&#8217; activities around leadership development as well as its efforts to broaden diversity, equity and inclusion at both the Company and throughout the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After more than 15 years in role, one of my top priorities has been to identify and prepare a CEO for the next chapter in the Company&#8217;s growth and success and I am fully confident that Kirsten is that person,&#8221; said Katz. &#8220;And with our Company having just navigated the most challenging period in its history and coming out stronger than when it began, this is the right time for me to take a step back and play a different role at Vail Resorts. I am incredibly proud of where our Company is today and passionate about supporting Kirsten, our board and our executive team in continuing to reimagine the mountain resort experience. While I am grateful to have been a part of so many of our Company&#8217;s incredible accomplishments over the past decades, I&#8217;m most proud of our unique leadership culture and the amazing leaders we have at every level of Vail Resorts \u2013 who have been the primary driver of all the innovation, growth and success we have created together.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Bennett joined Vail Resorts in 2018 as vice president of marketing analytics before he was promoted to his current role as vice president of marketing, lift revenue.
