We’re pleased to share that Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group has been included in Variety’s Business Managers Elite 2025, an annual feature recognizing professionals across the business management field.

This year’s acknowledgment includes Lou Taylor, Heather Kinder, Peggy Stephens, and Bret Guest for their work across financial planning, operations, and long-term advisory support.

A Commitment to Clarity and Steady Guidance

A Year of Measured Expansion

Tri Star’s presence in Miami expanded this year with the addition of The LRW Group and its founder, Lahteefah “Lah” Parramore, who now serves as Chief Growth Officer.

This was a considered step in a broader, long-term growth strategy aimed at strengthening service capabilities in key markets.

With offices in Nashville, West Hollywood, and Miami, Tri Star’s teams collaborate across regions, bringing a unified approach to the creators, entrepreneurs, athletes, executives, and family offices they support.
