About Robert Mudd

I am an enrolled Native American and I appreciate the opportunity to submit my education and gaming hospitality experience to the general public via this medium. I possesses a unique and diverse combination of education; Master of Business Administration (MBA) and proven abilities (20 years construction industry and 20 plus years gaming hospitality experience) to any gaming and destination resort, with the ultimate goal of improving your revenues and operating efficiency. I consistently contribute to the growth and success of casino resorts. My twenty plus years of gaming management experience includes a thorough knowledge of hospitality, marketing, gaming, and regulations (Federal, State and Tribal) specifically applicable to gaming. A strategic and forward-thinking professional, I develop and implement strategies and processes that result in operational excellence and outstanding communication throughout the organization. I lead my teams to provide an exemplary guest experience, ensuring fulfilling player action, traffic flow and return business. Some notable accomplishments include creating a budget to control spending and successfully negotiating with banks to avoid foreclosure when several tribes fell out of compliance on their loans, turning around declining income at a Midwest Casino with an effective marketing strategy, increasing monthly net income by 27%; and growing overall revenue 15% for another Midwestern Casino, during its move to a new location. My strengths include running multi-property operations; preparing and managing budgets focused on sustainability and growth; ensuring compliance with applicable federal, state, and tribe regulations; cultivating enduring relationships within the organization as well as externally with the community, members of the Gaming Commission, vendors and banks. Having spent my career in leadership positions in the gaming and hospitality industry, I bring unparalleled experience to the table.
