Tom Garfinkel, atop the business side of the Miami Dolphins organization and a confidant to owner Stephen Ross since 2013, is climbing the club’s organizational ladder.
Garfinkel has been promoted to vice chairman to go along with his duties as president and chief executive officer, The Miami Herald has learned.
His new title will be Vice Chairman, President and CEO and he will continue to oversee the club’s day-to-day business operations.
Garfinkel joins Don Shula, Jorge Perez and Matt Higgins as vice chairmen. Only Bruce Beal, who as vice chairman and partner to Ross has been initially tapped to be the team’s next owner, is higher in the Dolphins corporate structure.
