Todd Howell

Chief Executive Officer - Interim | Grand Canyon Resort Corporation

Todd was raised as an Ohio “farm boy” and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Accounting. His professional journey began as an Ohio-licensed CPA with one of the “Big 4” auditing firms, Ernst & Young (EY) in Toledo, Ohio. He gained diverse finance experience in the Lake Erie Health Services audit division. After 7 years at EY, Todd worked for two of his audit clients…

First, as the Associate Director of Academic Budget for the Medical College of Ohio (now the University of Toledo Medical Center) for 18 months leading the annual budget process meeting with the various department leaders to understand the yearly request for financial resources. In turn, understanding and forecasting the financial resources available for those annual requests.

Second, as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of one of the “Big 6” US-based, medical supply distributors, Concordance Healthcare Solutions (formerly Seneca Medical prior to the 2016 merger). For over 20 years, Todd successfully implemented cost-saving initiatives, streamlined financial processes, ensured compliance with regulatory standards and helped grow the Company to 20 warehouses and $1.5+ billion in annual revenue.  Beyond the expected roles of the CFO (finance, accounting, tax, treasury, operating/capital budgets, investor relations), his areas of responsibility included real estate, supplier relations and legal/regulatory/risk management.

In April 2024, Todd relocated to Kingman, Arizona to become CFO of Hwal’Ba:j Enterprises DBA Grand Canyon Resort Corporation (GCRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hualapai Tribe. In a short time, and aside from earning his Arizona CPA license, Todd has used his 20+ years of CFO knowledge to improve efficiencies at GCRC. In March 2025, Todd became GCRC’s interim Chief Executive Officer.

Beyond his professional achievements, Todd is an avid RMS Titanic historian/collector/speaker, enjoys camping, running/hiking (including the Grand Canyon twice) and golf, and cherishes spending quality time vacationing with his immediate and extended family. Todd’s wife Holly is also a CFO with their son, Logan being a sophomore at THE Ohio State University studying Economics.
