Mario Maesano has come home. After a series of executive positions around the country—the latest in wine country in Northern California—the St. Joseph’s University grad returns to his South Jersey roots as vice president of marketing at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
“Having grown up in southern New Jersey, I’m thrilled to be back as I take this next step in my career,” Maesano said in a statement. “I am looking forward to continuing Borgata’s reputation and legacy of excellence while also fostering meaningful community-focused initiatives among our fellow neighbors.”
Maesano brings almost three decades of experience in the gaming industry to Borgata. He comes back after a stint as chief marketing officer at Graton Resort & Casino in Sonoma County, California.
In addition to a bachelor’s degree in marketing from St. Joe’s, Maesano holds a master’s degree in business administration from Xavier University’s Williams College of Business.
“Mario’s extensive knowledge of the industry and South Jersey area, coupled with his leadership and expertise across high-level casino properties, will add tremendous value to Borgata, further boosting our organization’s continued growth and success,” said Niklas Rytterstrom, president and chief operating officer of Borgata. “We are delighted to welcome Mario as the latest addition to our team and know his marketing expertise will improve our brand visibility and continue to position the property as a leader in Atlantic City.”
