IAG NOV 2021年11月 亞博匯 127 未來焦點 CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Lotte Tour Development Group LAWRENCE TEO BEN TOH ALBERT YEUNG A FORMER EXECUTIVE with Melco Resorts during itsMelco- Crown days, where he oversaw Altira Macau, Lawrence Teo has been charged with bringing much-needed gaming experience to South Korea’s Lotte Tour Development. His focus since arriving has been Jeju Dream Tower, a US$1.4 billion development that held a soft opening last December and added a new casino in June this year. Opening into the teeth of COVID-19 may not be ideal, but Lotte Tour is backing the luxury element of its property, including a 5-star Grand Hyatt Hotel, to drive the island’s recovery. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SJM Holdings CHAIRMAN Emperor Group A FORMER HIGH-RANKING Sands China executive, having served as CFO, Executive Vice President and Executive Director from June 2010 to April 2016, Toh enjoyed a brief stint with Shangri-La Asia Limited before being snapped up by SJM late last year. He was Chief Operating Officer (Finance & Development) of Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A. – the SJM subsidiary that holds SJM’s Macau gaming concession – for only three months before being tapped for the CFO role of its larger parent. With SJM seemingly poised for a makeover in the coming years after finally opening its US$5 billion Cotai IR, Grand Lisboa Palace, expect Toh to be front and center. AN OLD PAL who backed Stanley Ho’s first foray into VIP rooms, Albert Yeung was rewarded with a satellite casino operated under Ho’s concession, and he hasmade the most of it. Yeung’s Grand Emperor Hotel has long enjoyed a superb location on the Macau peninsula, around the corner from Ho’s flagship Lisboa complex. Emperor Entertainment has a contract with SJM to run the casino at Grand Emperor until June 2022 but what will become of Macau’s satellite operators after that time remains to be seen. 營運總監兼執行副總裁 樂天觀光開發公司 首席財務總監 澳門博彩控股有限公司 主席 英皇集團 Lawrence Teo 卓河祓 楊受成 在新濠 還是處於與皇冠合作的時 期，Lawrence Teo就曾經是新濠的 高層，主要負責澳門新濠鋒。之後他 就到了南韓的樂天觀光開發公司，並 帶來了該公司十分需要的博彩業經 驗。他的注意力一直都放在價值14億 美元的濟州天城這個項目，在去年12 月開始試運，並且在今年6月增加了 一個新賭場。在新冠疫情肆虐期間開 幕可能並非最好的時刻，但樂天觀光 正靠著這個項目裏面包括一間五星級 凱悅酒店在內的奢華元素來推動濟州 島的復甦。 卓河袚 曾在2010年6月至2016年4月期 間於金沙中國出任財務總監、執行副總 裁兼執行董事，並在與香格里拉(亞洲) 有限公司的一段短暫緣分後，就被澳博 在去年年尾收歸旗下。他曾經出任澳博 旗下持有賭牌的子公司澳門博彩股份有 限公司的首席營運總監(財務及發展)， 僅僅三個月之後就被躍升為母公司的首 席財務總監。有鑑於澳博在終於啟用其 價值50億美元的路氹綜合度假村上葡 京後似乎在未來數年將要進行一番大整 頓，外界預計卓河袚將會在這件事件中 擔任著重要角色。 楊受成 是何鴻燊的多年朋友，支 持後者創始貴賓廳業務，讓楊氏 後來透過何氏的博彩牌照，經營 一家衛星賭場，他亦充份利用既 有的條件。楊氏旗下的英皇娛樂 酒店處於澳門半島優越地段，毗 鄰何氏的旗艦物業葡京酒店。英 皇娛樂與澳博簽訂讓前者在英皇 酒店經營賭場的合約，將於2022 年6月到期，但現時依然未清楚那 時候澳門的衛星賭場運作將會變 成怎樣。
