                                              Inside Asian Gaming introduces the nine members of this year’s Asian Gaming Power 50 judging panel.

                                              ANDREW W SCOTT

                                              (JUDGING PANEL CHAIRMAN)

                                              Vice Chairman and CEO, Inside Asian Gaming

                                              Born in Australia, ANDREW is a gaming industry expert and media publisher, commentator and journalist who moved to Hong Kong in 2005 and then Macau in 2009, when he founded O MEDIA, one of Macau’s largest media companies. O MEDIA’s flagship asset is Inside Asian Gaming (IAG).

                                              Andrew is very active in the local Macau community and was the 2014 Macau Person of the Year.

                                              He has been a high stakes poker player, professional blackjack player and educator, and a poker tournament television commentator. This afforded him vast casino experience in Macau and across Asia, Las Vegas and across North America, Australia and worldwide, visiting over 200 casinos in the last 33 years. He changed his main focus to media in 2005.

                                              Andrew is Vice Chairman of the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Macau, a Fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Directors, a permanent member of the Macau Gaming Management Association and President of the Macau Taxi Passengers Association. He is also a member of the International Federation of Journalists, the Portuguese and English Press Association of Macau and the Poker Tournament Directors Association.

                                              Andrew completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Australia in 1993 and a Master of Science (International Integrated Resort Management) at the Faculty of Business Administration at the University of Macau in 2019.

                                              BEN BLASCHKE

                                              Managing Editor, Inside Asian Gaming

                                              BEN began his career as a sports journalist in Sydney in 1999 before his interest was piqued by the TV poker shows that frequented the airwaves late at night. He soon found himself not only playing the game but writing about it too – taking on the role of Editor for PokerNews Australasia and subsequently visiting Macau for the very first time in 2008.

                                              He was appointed Managing Editor of World Gaming Magazine in February 2013, subsequently overseeing O MEDIA’s editorial catalogue including High Life, Hengqin Record and more. He was appointed Chief Content Officer in 2017.

                                              In 2016, Ben became Managing Editor of Inside Asian Gaming and has spent his years since then delving ever more deeply into the business of gaming. He was instrumental in the launch of the industry-leading daily e-newsletter IAG Breakfast Briefing in April 2017, and the interactive online business insights platform GAME in 2020.

                                              MUHAMMAD COHEN

                                              Editor-At-Large, Inside Asian Gaming

                                              MUHAMMAD COHEN has been covering business in Asia since 1995, focusing on the casino business for more than a decade. He’s interviewed gaming’s best and brightest, been publicly upbraided (at least once, unjustly) by them and in turn has keenly assessed what they’ve produced.

                                              His experience as a diplomat and city planner help him place gaming policies, projects and destinations in the broader urban and geopolitical context of Asia’s increasingly complex web of competing domestic and international interests and imperatives.

                                              As a former baseball writer, working with some of the game’s top statistical analysts, he brings a keen appreciation of the power and limits of numbers to paint a picture that may be incredibly accurate but also multi-dimensional.

                                               

                                              MICHAEL ZHU

                                              SVP International Operations Planning & Analysis, The Innovation Group

                                              With nearly 20 years of experience in the gaming, leisure and hospitality industries, MICHAEL ZHU joined The Innovation Group in 2014 where he applies a comprehensive analytical skill set while exploiting his unique cultural context and leveraging his in-depth development and operational experience in the related sectors.

                                              Michael is Vice Chairman of the Macau Gaming Information Association (MGIA).

                                              His main focus with The Innovation Group is on mid and large-scale IR development and operations in the US, Asia-Pacific and European markets. Michael also expanded his horizons during the GFC as a Leadership Development Associate with Las Vegas Sands Corporation, where he oversaw a broad array of projects to establish and enhance financial planning and analysis for the opening of numerous Sands China integrated resorts in Macau and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore among others.

                                              He holds a Master of Business Administration in Hospitality Management from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Peking University in China.

                                              He was a Fellow of the United States National Committee on US-China Relations in Washington DC and of the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
