Kaicy Sweeney

Chief Financial Officer

Utah native, Kaicy Sweeney, takes great pride in empowering and providing others with the knowledge to make impactful decisions. His unique ability is to evaluate processes and resources, determine weak points, and rebuild and establish high-functioning teams. Although originally from Utah, Kaicy has lived in six states throughout his 15-year hospitality career. Kaicy gained his initial hospitality experience in operational roles such as Valet, Bellman, Bartender, and Food & Beverage Manager. He ultimately chose to pursue a career in Hospitality Finance & Accounting and completed a degree in Accounting at the University of Utah. He cultivated an 11-year career with Hilton Hotels & Resorts and, before departing, was directly responsible for financial oversight of six mid-large-sized hotels with average annual revenues exceeding $200 million.

Kaicy joined the Leisure Group in 2022. Now, as Chief Financial Officer, he values his operational experience and believes it sets him apart from other finance leaders in the industry. The highlight of his career thus far is improving the operating profit margin by more than 20 points at a world-class luxury hotel, which was achieved by challenging the status quo and improving the financial and business acumen of his executive leadership team.

Family is of the utmost importance to Kaicy. He is married to Teresa, and they are raising two exceptional children, Sawyer and Sienna. There is absolutely nothing he would not do for them. When Kaicy is not improving operating profit margins, he loves spending quality time with his beautiful family, exploring the mountains, and exercising to keep the body and mind young.
