Bloomberry Resorts Corp, operator of the Philippines’ leading integrated resort brand Solaire, has confirmed the appointment of Greg Hawkins as Director, President and Chief Operating Officer at a board meeting held earlier this week.
Hawkins had previously served as Acting COO following the retirement of Tom Arasi.
Hawkins brings with him a lengthy career in the Asia-Pacific gaming industry, including as General Manager – Gaming for New Zealand’s Sky Entertainment Group and as CEO of the Melco-Crown joint venture in Macau during its early days.
He more recently served as Chief Gaming Officer of Australia’s Star Entertainment Group but was one of a number of senior executives to depart Star following an inquiry into The Star Sydney’s suitability in 2022.
Another former Star alumni, Damian Quayle, was recently announced as the new COO of Bloomberry’s newest manila IR, Solaire Resort North.
The permanent appointment of Hawkins as President and COO of Bloomberry comes after Arasi departed suddenly in December, with the company stating only that he was leaving for personal reasons.
