KIM CREIGHTON
Vice President
Human Resources

Kim Creighton's responsibility is to provide proactive strategic and tactical support to Hard Rock through the development and implementation of HR initiatives that are in line with company objectives at all levels. She oversees Recruitment, Employee Relations, Compensation & Benefits, and Training & Development. She has been with Hard Rock a total of 15+ years.

Kim's career started in hotel operations where she was exposed to all aspects of human resources. Through dinner shows and restaurants, she transitioned into HR under Robert Earl in 1988 when they had 300 employees in Orlando. Two months after she joined "Orlando Entertains," they purchased Isaac Tigrett's part of Hard Rock Cafe and that is where the Hard Rock story begins. The corporate office relocated to Orlando and Kim landed the HR gig.

Kim obtained a Bachelor's degree from Jacksonville University in Marketing/Management.

When Kim’s not working, you will find her entertaining her family and friends. She is married with a son attending the University of South Florida. As far as music goes, she is a southern girl that grew up in Atlanta loving (and still does) the Allman Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and the Eagles. Kim loves people, and the ability to make life better for all, and that is why she is in HR.
