Sisk Appointed COO of RW Sentosa

Casino industry veteran David Sisk has been named chief operating officer of Genting Singapore Plc’s Resorts World Sentosa, the company has announced. Goh Chye Boon, executive vice president of operations at the same property, had left “to pursue other opportunities.”

Casino financial and operations executive David Sisk has been appointed the new chief operating officer of Resorts World Sentosa, a Genting Singapore Plc property.

A gaming industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience in Las Vegas and Macau, Sisk will oversee day-to-day operations at the island resort in Singapore, reporting to Tan Hee Teck, chief executive of Genting Singapore, a subsidiary of Malaysian conglomerate Genting Bhd.

Genting Singapore, the property’s developer and operator, just announced a 30 percent year-on-year decline in fourth-quarter profit attributed to a loss of volume and the accumulation of bad debt in the VIP player segment in Sentosa, reported GGRAsia.

Sisk previously worked for the Macau unit of Las Vegas Sands Corp, at Caesars Palace and Wynn Las Vegas as chief financial officer, and more recently at Macau casino operator Sands China. He joined Sands China in 2010 as chief casino officer. He was subsequently appointed as executive vice president and chief operating officer, but resigned in September 2013. No reason for his departure was given by Sands China..

“I’m excited to be a part of this great family and look forward to working closely with the team to achieve greater results across the Resort’s myriad of offerings,” Sisk said in a statement.
