Crown Resorts has announced that Mike Volkert will be stepping down as the CEO of Crown Melbourne, to be succeeded by MGM executive Ed Domingo.
According to a Monday notice, Volkert will be resigning from his position with Crown to ‘pursue an outside opportunity’.
Volkert served a relatively short stint as the CEO of Crown Melbourne, with Crown Melbourne’s Chairman Ian Silk noting “I would like to thank Mike for his leadership and dedication to Crown Melbourne over the last two and a half years”.
Ed Domingo will begin with Crown Melbourne ‘in late April’, with Volkert continuing to serve as CEO until that time.
Domingo brings with him more than 20 years of experience in hospitality and gaming, having most recently held the position of President and COO of Empire City Casino in New York with MGM Resorts International.
Domingo had also previously served as Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, as well as other leadership roles in Caesars Entertainment and Rush Street Gaming.
Speaking of Domingo’s appointment, Crown Resorts CEO David Tsai noted that “With his extensive industry experience across various gaming jurisdictions, Ed is well-positioned to lead Crown Melbourne’s next phase of growth and success”.
