IAG AUG 2022年8月 亞博匯 18 CIARÁN CARRUTHERS APPOINTED CEO OF CROWN RESORTS 簡浩龍將出任皇冠度假酒店集團行政總裁 CROWN RESORTS has announced that Steve McCann will be stepping down as CEO of Crown Resorts and Crown Melbourne, with current Wynn Macau Resort COO Ciarán Carruthers to be appointed the new CEO of Crown Resorts, subject to probity approval. The position encompasses overall responsibility for Crown Melbourne, Crown Perth, Crown Sydney, Crown London Aspinalls and Crown’s online business. Crown announced Carruthers will commence his new position in September and will work through a transitionary period with McCann. Crown says that further senior appointments including the CEO of Crown Melbourne and CEO of Crown Perth will be announced in due course. The appointment comes in the wake of the recent acquisition of Crown by the Blackstone Group. Head of Real Estate Australia for Blackstone, Chris Tynan, said, “Blackstone is committed to investing in Crown, helping it realize its true potential as a world-class leader in travel and leisure. Part of that involves bringing in global expertise to complement the existing skills within the business. Ciarán Carruthers is a highly experienced and respected industry veteran who shares our commitment to continuing the transformation at Crown and delivering an exceptional experience for all visitors.” Beginning his Macau career at Galaxy Entertainment Group in September 2002, Carruthers was Chief Operating Officer of Galaxy’s first property, Waldo casino, from its July 2004 opening, and served three years in the same role at Galaxy’s then-flagship property StarWorld, which opened in October 2006. He left Galaxy in 2009 to pursue consulting work in the industry. The likeable Irishman’s clients included Sands China Limited, and this ultimately led to his appointment as SVP & Director Operations Venetian Resort and Plaza Casino from 2013 to 2016, before he joined Wynn as Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Macau Resort from January 2017 until now. 皇冠度假酒店集團 宣佈，Steve McCann將卸任皇冠度假酒店集團 及Crown Melbourne行政總裁，而現任永利澳門營運總裁Ciarán Carruthers（簡浩龍）將接任成為皇冠集團新任行政總裁，目前只待 批准。該職位將全面負責Crown Melbourne、Crown Perth、Crown Sydney、Crown London Aspinalls以及皇冠的線上業務。 皇冠集團稱Carruthers將於9月開始履新，並將在過渡期和 McCann先生一起工作。其表示，未來還將在適當的時候公佈 Crown Melbourne及Crown Perth行政總裁的任命。 該任命是在黑石集團近期收購皇冠集團的消息之後公佈。黑 石澳洲物業主管Chris Tynan表示：「黑石致力於投資皇冠，幫助 實現其作為世界級旅遊休閒領銜公司的真正潛力，其中包括引入 全球專業人士來補充業務現有技能。Ciarán Carruthers作為經驗 豐富、備受尊敬的行業資深人士，將與我們共同致力於皇冠的轉 型，為所有遊客提供卓越的體驗。」 簡浩龍於2002年9月在銀河娛樂集團開始其澳門職業生涯， 在2004年7月開業的銀娛首個物業華都擔任營運總裁。隨後在 2006年10月開業的星際酒店擔任三年同樣職務。 他於2009年離開銀娛從事行業諮詢工作，客戶包括金沙中國 有限公司，最終在2013年至2016年間擔任威尼斯人及百利宮營運 高級副總裁兼總監，之後於2017年1月加入永利擔任永利澳門度假 村的營運總裁至今。
