Wynn Macau COO Ciarán Carruthers has been appointed CEO of Crown
Resorts (subject to probity approval), commencing in September this
year.
Prior to Wynn, he was the senior vice president and director of the
Venetian and Plaza Operations for Sands China. He brings more than 30
years of experience running some of the world’s largest integrated
luxury resorts, also having held several senior operational roles in
Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and the US Pacific Islands.
Steve McCann, who has held the CEO role at both Crown Resorts and
Crown Melbourne since 2021, will work through a transitionary period
with Carruthers.
Crown Resorts is expected to announce more senior appointments in due
course, including the positions of CEO of Crown Melbourne and CEO of
Crown Perth.
Among other accomplishments, McCann was instrumental in acquiring
approval for Crown Sydney to commence gaming operations; he also oversaw
the completion of the sale of Crown Resorts to the Blackstone group.
