IAG NOV 2020年11月亞博匯 90 2020 POWER 50 EVAN WINKLER PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR Melco Resorts and Entertainment PRESIDENT AND MANAGING DIRECTOR Melco International DIRECTOR Studio City International Holdings 總裁及董事 新濠博亞娛樂有限公司 董事總經理及主席 新濠國際發展有限公司 董事 新濠影滙有限公司 28 POWER SCORE 權能指數 : 941 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名 : 21 EVAN WINKLER hasn’t had much chance to show what he can do as President of Melco Resorts, the US listed operating arm of Melco’s global gaming holdings. Appointed in September last year, Winkler barely had a full quarter under his belt charged with overseeing daily operations of Melco’s properties from Macau to Manila to the Mediterranean before COVID-19 struck. Moreover, there’s little to suggest what Winkler’s oversight will bring. Since Winkler joined Melco in 2016, he’s largely worked behind the scenes as adviser to Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho. Even in his more high profile post, Winkler has maintained low visibility; Executive Vice President and CFO Geoff Davis and Winkler’s direct report David Sisk, COO for Macau resorts, join Ho to speak to analysts on quarterly earnings calls. Before signing on with Melco, Winkler spent almost 20 years in finance at Wall Street investment banks, participating in projects that familiarized him with Melco and vice versa. Winkler worked on mergers and acquisitions at UBS, and then joined Moelis & Company, founded in 2007 to specialize in M&A. Winkler was also named as having played a key role in Melco’s attempted acquisition of its one-time partner, Australia’s Crown Resorts, before that transaction fell through on a probity inquiry. Evan Winkler 尚未獲得太多機會展示他作為新濠博亞娛樂的總裁可有多大 作為。新濠博亞娛樂是新濠集團全球版圖之中在美上市的博彩營運子公司。 自去年9月上任以來至新冠肺炎疫情爆發，Winkler幾乎還沒來得及用一個完 整的季度時間來負責新濠旗下遍佈澳門、馬尼拉，乃至塞浦路斯的物業的日 常運營。 此外，也幾乎有跡象表明Winkler將在這個職位上做出何種作為。他自 2016年加入新濠以來，一直在幕後工作，主要擔任主席及行政總裁何猷龍 的顧問。即使在更為高調的職位上，Winkler亦一直保持低曝光度。新濠執行 副總裁兼財務總監Geoff Davis及Winkler直接向首席營運總監 (澳門業務) David Sisk報告。David Sisk與何猷龍一起在季度的電話財報會議上與分析 師們交談。 在入職新濠之前，Winkler曾在美國華爾街的投資銀行工作了近二 十年，期間，他曾參與了數個與新濠相關的項目並與新濠彼此之間加深了 解。Winkler曾在瑞士銀行從事併購業務，於2007年加入專門從事併購業務的 Moelis＆Company。 據稱Winkler曾在新濠意欲收購其曾經的合作夥伴澳洲皇冠酒店度假集 團的交易中扮演了關鍵角色，該筆交易後因面臨誠信調查而取消。 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 Key adviser to Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho Appointed Melco Resorts President last September to oversee daily operations globally • • • • 新濠主席何猷龍首席顧問 去年9月獲任命為新濠博亞娛樂總裁，負責集團全球的日常營運
