IAG NOV 2020年11月 亞博匯 83 2020 亞博匯50強 NICHOLAS NIGLIO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Rich Goldman Holdings 非執行董事 金粵控股有限公司 22 POWER SCORE 權能指數 : 1,044 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名 : 22 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 Oversaw Guangdong’s growth to become one of Macau’s “big three” junkets The only non-Chinese member of the Rich Goldman board • • • • 在其管治下廣東集團發展成澳門三大博彩中介人之一 金粵控股董事會中唯一非華人董事 CELEBRATING 13 YEARS AS CEO OF RICH GOLDMAN HOLDINGS – formerly known as Neptune Group – in 2020, Niglio’s long career has seen him fill an incredibly diverse selection of roles including almost a decade under the watch of US President and former gaming tycoon Donald Trump. Starting in 1993, he served as Executive Vice President of Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort Inc, Senior Vice President of Casino Marketing of Taj Associates of Trump Atlantic City Associates and Senior Executive in Casino Marketing and International Operation at Atlantic City NJ (Trump). Yet surely his greatest achievement is managing to crack the “mysterious” world of Asian junkets, officially heading up Guangdong Group’s listed arm since day one. While it has been a challenging year in the VIP sector, Rich Goldman Holdings – whose business arms include junket investing (as opposed to operations), money lending and hotel operations – may have inadvertently picked the perfect time to sever ties with its last remaining Macau junket in April. The company had announced plans to invest in a new junket room at Solaire in the Phililippines – that’s on hold for now – but continues to make progress in money lending. Time will tell to what extent Rich Goldman dips its toes back into the gaming space in the future. 踏入2020年， Nicholas Niglio已出任金粵控股（該企前身為海王集團）行政總 裁之位長達13年。在漫長的職業生涯中，他出任了各式其式的工作職位，包括 曾為美國總統、前博彩大亨特朗普工作近十年。 Niglio自1993年起，曾分別在Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort Inc中出 任執行副總裁，在 Trump Atlantic City Associates的 Taj Associates 中擔當 賭場營銷高級副總裁，以及出任Atlantic City NJ (Trump)賭場營銷和國際營 運高級主管。 但他最大的成就可謂成功打入亞洲市場「神秘」的中介人圈子，一開始便 領導廣東集團旗下的上市公司。 今年對貴賓廳行業是艱難的一年，而業務包括中介人投資（不是中介人 營運）、放貸和酒店營運在內金粵控股，今年4月與最後一個有關聯的澳門中 介人斷絕合作關係，可能在不經意間選擇了一個最佳時機。 該企早前公布將對菲律賓晨麗娛樂場及渡假城的新貴賓廳進行投資，雖 然該計劃暫時擱置，但該企繼續在放貸業務上取得進展。 時間將會告訴我們金粵控股未來將在博彩領域上重新投放多少資源。
