Ed Finger, chief financial officer of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, will take the newly established C-level position of chief strategy officer after the LVCVA board unanimously approved the new addition to the executive team.

The new position will oversee transportation, people and culture, and risk management functions.

The new executive will be paid between $199,000 and $279,000 a year.

The LVCVA’s Compensation Committee recommended adding the new position in a meeting Monday.

Finger first joined the LVCVA in 2016 as senior vice president of finance and was promoted to chief financial officer in 2018.

He joined the LVCVA after serving as assistant county manager of Clark County. Earlier in his career, he was deputy county manager for Adams County, Colorado, and finance director of the City of Thornton, Colorado, and a senior auditor at Grant Thornton LLP.

Finger will take over the new position as soon as a new CFO is hired.
