EMPLOYEES in the News
Veronika Egginton
Veronika Egginton, vice president of
digital development for LHM Dealerships,
was spotlighted in the July issue of Auto
Remarketing as part of being an inaugural
recipient of the Women in Retail award. This
awards program specifically recognizes leaders
on the retail side of the auto industry.
“Never say never,” Veronika shared. “When
I was a little girl, I most certainly didn’t
see myself working in automotive retail. It
happened because I was open-minded and
flexible in my career choices. I was able to see
great opportunities as they appeared, which led
me to where I am today.”
Veronika started working closely with LHM
Dealerships when she was with Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles (FCA) West Business Center in
Phoenix, Arizona, and that’s how she ended
up on the front lines of automotive retail.
She has been with the Group since 2015, and
her humble and dedicated leadership have
motivated and inspired many as she helps the
Group be the best place in every town to work
and do business.

Steve Smith and Samu Sitake
KSL Sports celebrated two men on a mission
to protect the Utah Jazz, Steve Smith and Samu
Sitake. Steve is currently VP of Utah Jazz Team
Security, a role he wouldn’t trade for anything.
Before taking his current position, he led the
security team at Vivint Smart Home Arena
and has held a number of other positions since
joining the LHM Group in 2011.
Samu is Steve’s partner when it comes
to ensuring Jazz team security. His current
position is actually his third job with the LHM
Group, with stints at Apple and Tesla taking
place between each one. Samu and Steve use
their shared history of playing University of
Utah football to provide support and a sense of
teamwork to their security duties.
Both are prime examples of what it means
to continue the mission and embody the values
of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies as
they work hard and serve with integrity in their
respective stewardships.

Elaina Pappas
Sport Management Hub recently interviewed
Elaina Pappas, vice president of marketing and
fan development for the Utah Jazz. The focus
was on her approach to creativity and how she
felt about being an influential woman in the
sports world. Throughout the interview, Elaina
maintained her humility, encouraging others to
do their best and believe in themselves.
Elaina clearly enjoys her job, saying, “I
truly enjoy the people I work with and the
relationships I’ve built within my department
and the organization as a whole. I also enjoy
going to games and paying less attention to
what’s happening on the court and more on the
fans who are enjoying the game. You can truly
see the joy that the Jazz brand provides, and I
like being one small piece of that.”
