Melco announces appointments of 3 executives, departure of former COO

The casino operator, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd., has officially designated three executives to oversee key aspects of its Macau operations. Simultaneously, the company announced David Sisk’s retirement as Macau Resorts’ former chief operating officer.

Macau’s Executive Vice President of Analytics and Gaming Operations is now Alidad Tash. At the City of Dreams Macau casino complex, Linda Switzer will serve as Vice President of Retail and Stefan Bollhalder as Vice President of Hotels, Food & Beverage.

Among the several properties owned by Melco Resorts in the Macau market are Altira Macau, Studio City, and City of Dreams.

The company said that David Sisk had quit for personal reasons, but it also commended him for his accomplishments during his time there and wished him well in his future endeavors. In order to ensure a smooth transition, Melco’s leadership team is actively searching for a new senior executive to supervise the company’s resort operations in Macau.

Previously serving as general director of consulting firm 2NT Ltd, Alidad Tash will spearhead the company’s expansion of its gaming operations across its three Macau sites.

The general manager of the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono in Japan, Stefan Bollhalder, was brought in to oversee the hotel and food and beverage operations at City of Dreams Macau.

On April 1, Linda Switzer, a former Wynn Macau Ltd. vice president of retail, will join Melco Resorts.

According to an internal document, all three executives will report to Melco Resorts’ President and Board Director, Evan Winkler, until further notice.
