Management

Mike Flaskey has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience in public and privately-held companies, with a key focus on growth-oriented companies within the real estate and vacation ownership industry. Throughout his tenure at Diamond Resorts, the company has achieved unprecedented growth both organically and through strategic acquisition integration. Mike has shifted the traditional timeshare marketing and sales model to an innovative, hospitality-infused process that includes a high-touch upstream engagement stance, thus providing owners and guests with a service-first approach. Diamond’s leading experiential model is revolutionizing the vacation ownership industry as a whole.

Mike has overseen, developed and delivered strategic partnerships and relationships with numerous prominent sporting and entertainment professionals that resulted in the creation and growth of our innovative Events of a Lifetime® franchise, the Diamond concert series and, most notably, the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions™, a nationally televised LPGA Tournament of Champions/celebrity golf tournament that will be broadcast on NBC and Golf Channel. The tournament, previously known as the Diamond Resorts Invitational, has a strong philanthropic arm and – as of January 2018 – has raised over 3.1 million of charitable dollars for Florida Hospital for Children.

Prior to Diamond Resorts, Mike held senior executive roles with Starwood Vacation Ownership and Fairfield Resorts (now Wyndham Vacation Ownership). He has a track record of recruiting and developing top talent and is a culture-conscious, performance-driven executive with a history of excellent results while always placing guest satisfaction first.

Mike holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Limestone College.
