Wyborn

Another who is no stranger to senior roles within Hard Rock, Justin Wyborn had already been an international hospitality industry veteran of 12 years when he joined the company back in 2013.

Guidry will be taking over Wyborn’s duties at Cincinnati as Wyborn himself moves out to Nevada to become SVP and General Manager of the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.
