Orlando, Wednesday, 20 August 2025.
United Parks & Resorts has strategically appointed Kevin Connelly as its new Chief Accounting Officer, signaling a pivotal leadership transition during a complex corporate landscape. At 55 years old, Connelly brings extensive financial expertise from previous roles at companies like Appreciation Homes, LLC and Capview Partners, LLC. His comprehensive compensation package includes a $260,000 annual base salary, a 60% bonus target, and substantial stock options. This appointment follows the stepping down of William Myers, with a smooth transition period planned through August 31, 2025. The move comes amid the company’s recent quarterly earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, highlighting the critical importance of robust financial leadership in navigating current market challenges.
