Nevertheless, Kelley’s 40+ years of industry experience – he enjoyed executive stints with Golden Nugget, Station Casinos, Hard Rock and Las Vegas Sands before joining Galaxy – has never brought challenges like these past two years. At least Galaxy, with its net cash stockpile of US$4 billion, is well positioned to ride out the COVID-19 storm. And Kelley has had plenty to keep him occupied, with the company busy developing Galaxy Macau Phase 3, due to open in 2022, and Phase 4, due in 2024. When complete, the two phases will add an additional eight new branded hotels to the property’s already substantial offerings, including Singapore’s famous Raffles, plus a hefty new convention center and more gaming, retail and F&B space. With Kelley’s help, Galaxy Entertainment Group has good reason to be confident its new additions will help grow the pie. Prior to COVID-19, the company held around 21% of Macau’s market share – making it one of the SAR’s big two alongside Sands China. With the opening of two new phases, analysts are already predicting Galaxy will increase that share across all market segments, and particularly in the lucrative mass and premium mass – suggesting sunnier days are ahead. 祁嘉杰 出任銀河的澳門首席營運總監已有6年時間，真正確立了他作為銀 娛副主席呂耀東信賴的左右手地位。 儘管祁嘉杰擁有著四十多年的從業經驗——在加入銀娛集團之前，他 曾先後在Golden Nugget、Station Casinos、Hard Rock和拉斯維加斯金 沙集團擔任高管職務——但從未遇到過像過去兩年這樣的挑戰。 至少懷揣著40億美元淨現金儲備的銀娛，能夠安然渡過這場難關。祁 嘉杰目前有很多事情要處理，公司正忙著開發澳門銀河第三期項目（定於 2022 年開放）和第四期（定於 2024 年）。 待這兩期工程完成後，澳門銀河將在現有產品的基礎上，再新增包括 新加坡著名萊佛士酒店在內的八家品牌酒店，以及一個大型會展中心、更 多的博彩、零售及餐飲空間。 在祁嘉杰的領導下，銀河娛樂集團有充分的理由相信其新增業務將 有助於做大蛋糕。在新冠疫情之前，銀娛佔據了澳門約21%的市場份額， 與金沙形成齊頭並進之勢。有分析師預測，隨著兩個新階段項目的開業， 銀娛在所有細分市場的份額都將增加，尤其是利潤豐厚的中場及高端中 場——無疑前途一片光明。
