Macau’s SJM Resorts has announced the impending departure of its Chief Gaming Officer, Damian Quayle, who has resigned from the role.
Inside Asian Gaming understands that Quayle, whose final day with SJM will be on 20 June, has accepted a role as Chief Operating Officer of Bloomberry Resorts Corp’s Solaire Resort North, located in Quezon City in the north of Manila.
In an internal memo sent to staff on Friday, SJM’s Managing Director Daisy Ho said the company had already appointed a new Chief Gaming Officer with details to be announced at a later date. Marco Ieong, SVP of Table and Slots Operations, will lead the gaming team in the meantime, “bringing his experience and steady leadership to the role until the new Chief Gaming Officer is onboard,” Ho said in the memo.
“We genuinely express our heartfelt gratitude to Damian on his leadership and contributions to our company and extend our best wishes for his future endeavors.”
Quayle’s career has included stints in Macau with Wynn and Melco plus almost 12 years with Australia’s Star Entertainment Group. Before joining SJM in mid-2024 he enjoyed a brief stint in Manila with LET Westside, the integrated resort project being developed in Entertainment City by LET Group subsidiary Suntrust Resort Holdings.
Quayle joins Solaire Resort North following a raft of recent changes to the executive team, including the departure of long-time Bloomberry President and COO Tom Arasi and of Solaire Resort North’s former SVP of Resort Operations, Gianpietro Iseppi, who has joined Wynn Al Marjan Island.
Another Star Entertainment Group alumni, Greg Hawkins, is currently serving as Bloomberry’s Acting COO.
