Meet Galen Smith, Featured Speaker at the MKJ Ski Summit

February 16, 2024

This year’s MKJ Summit promises to be an eventful weekend full of outdoor adventure, cozy amenities, and most importantly, amazing speakers who have great advice to share. 


One of these speakers is Galen Smith, the former CEO of leading entertainment company Redbox. 


Smith obtained his MBA in Finance and Economics at the University of Chicago, then joined Morgan Stanley as an investment banking associate. From there, he moved to Redbox’s former parent company, Coinstar, as Corporate Vice President of Finance and Treasurer. In 2011, Smith transitioned to Senior Vice President of Finance at Redbox, eventually working his way to Chief Executive Officer in 2016. 


We can’t wait to hear his insights about business growth and marketing. 


If you can’t wait either, join us in beautiful Vail, Colorado, March 4–6 for the MKJ Ski Summit. Tribute Technology is a proud sponsor of this event. Register here today!
