CLAIMS TO FAME
- Part of pre-opening teams for The Venetian Macao and Marina Bay Sands
Appointed as MGM China’s President and Chief Operating Officer following the retirement of CEO Grant Bowie in 2020, Hubert Wang has played a central role in the company’s ascension over the past few years.
Not so long ago considered the smallest of Macau’s six concessionaires, the company is now punching well above its weight with market share creeping above 16% in 2024 on more gaming supply and the smart tables it helped pioneer in the market back in 2018.
Now armed with a healthy cash balance that has seen it resume the payment of dividends while continuing to deleverage at a rapid rate, MGM China has recently outlined plans to develop a new wellness-themed resort as part of an expansion of MGM Cotai. That’s on top of substantial upgrades to its existing facilities in both Cotai and on the peninsula.
Wang’s vast experience and affable nature remains invaluable to the MGM brand, as he spent many years in the United States with Las Vegas Sands, Caesars and Penn National before returning to Asia to be part of the pre-opening teams on The Venetian Macao, opened in 2007, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, which opened in 2010. He joined MGM China in July 2011.
