Domingo will succeed Mike Volkert, who is stepping down after two-and-a-half years as CEO of Crown Melbourne. Crown confirmed today (March 17) that Volkert is seeking an undisclosed opportunity away from the business.
An experienced executive, Domingo has worked in the hospitality and casino industry for more than 20 years. He was most recently president and chief operating officer of Empire City Casino in New York, serving in the role since 2019.
Prior to this, Domingo had a spell as senior vice president and chief financial officer of the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He also spent four years as vice president of finance at Midwest Gaming & Entertainment.
In addition, he worked across various roles at Caesars Entertainment for five years between 2007 and 2012.
Domingo is due to commence his new role at Crown in late April, with Volkert continuing as CEO until that time.
Domingo Backed to Lead Crown Melbourne to Growth
Speaking about the appointment, Crown Resorts CEO David Tsai welcomed the addition of Domingo. He said the new CEO is well-positioned to lead Crown Melbourne to success.
“Ed has a proven track record in leading integrated resorts,” Tsai said. “We are thrilled to welcome him to Crown Melbourne. With his extensive industry experience across various gaming jurisdictions, Ed is well-positioned to lead Crown Melbourne’s next phase of growth and success.”
Tsai also paid tribute to the outgoing Volkert. He said: “I’d also like to extend my gratitude to Mike for his invaluable contribution, including his leadership in our transformation journey.”
Domingo added: “I am incredibly excited to join Crown Melbourne. It has held an iconic role in Melbourne’s entertainment and tourism landscape for 30 years.
“I look forward to joining the thousands of amazing team members there and leading Crown Melbourne’s next phase of transformation and growth. This includes bringing innovative venues to life and creating dynamic experiences for our guests, all while operating at industry-leading standards.”
