And although the past three years has presented challenges unlike anything Kelley has come across in a career spanning more than 40 years, he continues to play a leading role in planning for better days ahead – leading Galaxy’s discussions with the Macau government around revisions to the gaming law late last year, then overseeing preparations for the company’s re-tender bid in recent months. Next on the agenda will be ensuring a smooth launch for Galaxy Macau Phase 3 – the project essentially completed but awaiting a more meaningful return of customers to fill its new hotels, restaurants and gaming space. Also in the works is Phase 4, which alongside Phase 3 will complement Galaxy Macau’s existing facilities with an additional eight new branded hotels, including Singapore’s famous Raffles, plus a hefty new convention center and more gaming, retail and F&B space. In his past life, Kelley spent time as Senior Vice President of Operations at Las Vegas Sands Corp where he helped open The Venetian Macao. He also spent time with Golden Nugget, Station Casinos and Hard Rock International. 在擔任 銀河娛樂集團澳門業務首席營運總監七年之後，祁嘉杰（Kevin Kelley）早已成為這家被博彩業內人士視為黃金標桿公司裏理所應當的一 員。 儘管祁嘉杰在過去三年間時刻都在面對過往四十多年職業生涯中都未 遇到過的挑戰，但他依舊在規劃更好的未來方面發揮主導作用。尤其是去 年年底，他代表銀娛集團與澳門政府就博彩法修訂進行探討，並在最近幾 個月負責該公司重新競投幸運博彩經營批給的準備工作。 接下來的任務還包括確保澳門銀河第三期項目的順利推出，該項目現 已基本完成，新的酒店、餐廳及娛樂場正等待大規模客流的回歸。 第四期項目目前也在建設中，將與第三期及澳門銀河現有設施相輔 相成，將該度假村的酒店品牌增加至8家，包括新加坡知名酒店品牌萊佛 士、一個新的大型會議中心以及更多的博彩、零售及餐飲空間。 入職銀娛前，Kelley曾出任拉斯維加斯金沙集團營運高級副總 裁，並協助澳門威尼斯人酒店的開業。此前，他還先後任職於Golden Nugget、Station Casinos及Hard Rock International。
