SkyCity named Auckland executive team
The firm said Ejaaz Dean has been appointed executive manager for table games alongside Matthew Hardman who will be executive manager of gaming machines.
Simon Jamieson has been promoted to general manager of the SkyCity Auckland hotels, convention centre, tower and restaurants. The executive appointments follow the arrival of Nigel Morrison as SkyCity’s chief executive on March 3. The new executives start after the recent completion of a us$ 40 million refurbishment of the Auckland Casino’s main gaming floor.
SkyCity said both Dean and Hardman had 20 years experience in the casino industry working at the likes of Australia’s Burswood, Crown and Star City casinos. Jamieson had 25 years experience in hospitality businesses, SkyCity added.
Morrison, an Australian, quit a role as chief financial officer of Hong Kong and Macau Casino group Galaxy Entertainment to move to Auckland. He replaced Evan Davies, SkyCity’s founding chief executive, who departed abruptly after 11 years with a $2 million payout last June. SkyCity director Elmar Toime held the fort as executive director in the interim.
