Jim Murren is an American businessman, crisis response specialist, and active member of the Nevada community.

Jim currently leads Nevada’s COVID-19 Response, Relief, and Recovery Task Force as its gubernatorial-appointed chairman. At the outset of the pandemic, Jim recognized that Nevada lacked the essential equipment necessary to protect frontline workers and citizens alike. He worked closely with the state’s local government leaders and the private sector to secure personal protective equipment (PPE) stockpile of over 4 million pieces. Just as critically, Jim also led the development of a robust statewide testing system that has helped increase Nevada’s testing capabilities tenfold.

Prior to his government service during the pandemic, Jim employed thousands of workers and drove tourism to Nevada as the Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.
