Mr Tan is described as a professional with “over 20 years” of experience in the gaming and hospitality sector, with expertise in “managing teams, developing international business strategies, and leading cross-functional projects”.
Prior to his current job, he had held “senior key positions” at Resorts World Genting, the sole casino resort in Malaysia.
Mr Teo is described as having “over 15 years” of experience in casino and international marketing. Previously, he had been vice president of VIP services and casino marketing at The Grand Ho Tram Resort, in Vietnam.
