Bentley Price Associates, Inc. is honored to recognize Brian Parrish as one of our “Best of the Best” executives. We are grateful for Brian’s leadership, friendship, and the lasting impact he made on the hospitality and gaming industry.
Brian was a more than 30-year veteran of the Hospitality and Gaming Industry and served as Chief Executive Officer for three Native American Tribes. In September 2023, he joined the Osage Nation Gaming Enterprise as Chief Operating Officer after serving with the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise.
Brian believed success in leadership began at the top. He often shared that, “Navajo Nation leadership has been strong and diligent in setting tone and direction, especially in combating the spread of COVID-19. Navajo has an incredibly rich culture that we’re honoring with the design, architecture, marketing, specialty products, and storytelling that connects our guests to the tribe. It was a privilege and a blessing to serve the Navajo People—we had an outstanding enterprise team.”
Brian did an outstanding job keeping his team together during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his leadership helped position the organization for continued success.
Brian’s career was defined by integrity, vision, and a genuine commitment to the people and organizations he served. He earned the respect of colleagues throughout the industry and leaves behind a legacy of exceptional leadership and service.
We were proud to recognize Brian as one of our “Best of the Best,” and we will always be grateful for his contributions to our industry. He will be greatly missed.
