Women In... Episode 19: Tim Rayman - What it's like to be CEO

Tim has been with Greenleaf Hospitality Group for 19 years. After two years as Corporate Sales Manager, he became Director of Catering & Convention Services, helping to launch their offsite catering business brand. He served as Director of Hotels until 2018, when he was named CEO of Greenleaf Hospitality Group. Due to the recent acquisition of the Kalamazoo Country Club by Greenleaf Ownership, Tim’s responsibilities have expanded to encompass that property as well.
Being a native to the area and fellow Western Michigan University alumnus, Tim has a passion for our community. He currently serves on the board for First Day Shoe Fund, Southwest Michigan First, and is a Past President for Discover Kalamazoo's board of directors.
Tim is a devoted family man, prioritizing his time spent with his wife and kids. He feels fortunate to have spent many years coaching baseball, softball, and basketball for his children. When he's not at home, a soccer field, or in the gym on a day off, be sure to check the golf course, as that's where you can surely find him!
Tim enjoys and encourages developmental reading for his peers and staff. Some of his recommended reading includes Extreme Ownership, but he still loves the classic, Good to Great, by Jim Collins.
