Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has announced the promotion of Chris Rynkiewicz to Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In his new role, Rynkiewicz will oversee all functions and departments of the property's Finance Division while developing and implementing Borgata's strategic plan with its executive team to produce both short-term and long-term profitability.
"Chris has over two decades of experience at Borgata, and his institutional knowledge and expertise are invaluable as we work to elevate Borgata to new levels," said Travis Lunn, President & COO of Borgata. "Chris values the employee experience as much as the guest experience, which is an essential mindset we want our leadership to have. I look forward to seeing all he will accomplish in his new role."
Rynkiewicz joined Borgata in 2001 on the resort's pre-opening team and will celebrate 21 years with the company in September 2022. After six years of public accounting experience, Rynkiewicz left his position as audit manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Philadelphia and joined the Borgata development team as Financial Reporting Manager. Chris assumed responsibilities of the Operations Controller in 2004, was subsequently promoted to Director of Finance in 2006, and then to Executive Director of Finance in 2015.
Rynkiewicz, a Brigantine native and Holy Spirit High School graduate, holds a degree from Rutgers University and is a New Jersey Certified Public Accountant (inactive). Outside of his traditional work scope, Rynkiewicz is an active member of the Atlantic City Community. He contributes to many charitable organizations, including serving as the treasurer of the Holy Spirit High School Fathers' Club which awards over $100,000 annually in both scholarships and aid to the school's athletic teams and student clubs.
"I am thrilled to continue my work with Borgata in this new role, and to ensure the resort maintains its top position among visitors in Atlantic City, while also working to meet our financial goals," said Rynkiewicz. "The past 21 years have been so fulfilling, and I am excited for what the future holds for the resort, our employees, and our community."
