C. Perry Griffith III
DENISON PARKING
C. Perry Griffith III became President of Denison Parking Inc. in February 2020, two months before the pandemic. Since then, he has led the company through the most tumultuous years in the parking industry while continuing to accelerate Denison’s growth. A leader of a family business, Perry is focused on making sure everyone, from our employees to our customers and clients, feel like an extension of the family. The focus on culture and our core values resonates with our customers and team members.
I immediately found Perry to be knowledgeable, authentic, and transparent, He has great enthusiasm for the parking industry and genuine interest in the entire Denison Parking team. My time working with him, plus quotes from a handful of our team members who work with Perry the most, confirm those attributes:
“Having grown up in the industry and then deeply learning other industries as a consultant, Perry combines his passion for transformation and people-centered engagement to lead for growth during a time of tremendous change. He is masterful at building authentic connections across the industry, our stakeholders, and the communities we serve.”
–Matt Belanger, Senior Vice President, Service Delivery
“I appreciate how accessible Perry is and his willingness to communicate. I’ve often told others how he has given out his cell number to everyone in the company, whereas there have been numerous other companies that I’ve worked for where I couldn’t even tell you the name of the CEO/President, let alone how to contact them.”
