GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Mark Brown, CEO, Imperial Pacific Saipan

This week the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Mark Brown, the CEO of Imperial Pacific Saipan, about his company’s efforts to bring Macau-style gaming to the island.

Mark Brown is a native of Atlantic City and began his casino career there, eventually operating Trump Taj Mahal as the president and general manager. From 2006 to 2009, he was president and CEO of the Venetian Macao and Sands Macao. In 2013, he joined NagaCorp, the Cambodian gaming company, but less than a year later left for the top position with Imperial Pacific, which is developing gaming on the American territory of Saipan in the Northern Marianas. He describes the island and the progress made toward bringing a five-star, multi-billion-dollar integrated resort to Saipan. Brown spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his offices in Saipan in late May.
