Macau veteran appointed Echo Entertainment chief
He replaces Frederic Luvisutto, who resigned in December to pursue new career opportunities.
“Having managed both a premium VIP hotel and casino and a large-scale integrated resort in Macau, Greg also brings experience in the Asian VIP and premium mass market where we see further growth opportunities for Echo,” Australian newspaper Brisbane Times quoted Matt Bekier, Echo’s chief executive, as saying.
Prior to this appointment, Hawkins served from 2011 until last August as chief executive for a Crown Resorts Ltd casino in Melbourne, controlled by Australian billionaire James Packer. He also served as chief executive in Altira Macau for two years from 2006 before assuming his role as president of City of Dreams in 2008.
Both Altira Macau and City of Dreams are local properties of Melco Crown Entertainment, a gaming venture formed by Packer and Lawrence Ho Yau Lung, son of Macau gaming tycoon Stanley Ho Hung Sun.
