Australia-facing Star Entertainment Group has announced a series of executive management and subsidiary director appointments.
Revealed on June 24, the changes include Jennifer Cronin becoming interim CEO of the Star Gold Coast property. She will serve in the role for 12 months while Star continues to seek a permanent appointment.
Cronin will also become a director of Star Entertainment Qld Custodian, the licensee of the Star Gold Coast Casino. She was previously president and CEO of Wharf Hotels, Marco Polo Hotels and Niccolo Hotels in Hong Kong.
Elsewhere, other management changes at Star include Rowena Craze being named as group chief risk officer. This follows a spell as group chief audit officer, with Craze having joined Star in April last year.
Patrick McGlinchey moves to the full-time role of group chief legal officer after 10 months as interim. Sarah Derry has also been confirmed as chief people officer at Star, with effect from July 1.
In addition, Star has appointed Peter Meliniotis as the group chief information officer. Meliniotis only joined the business in January as the group technology transformation executive.
Helen Galloway Named Star Independent Sydney Chair
In addition, Star has confirmed Helen Galloway as an independent chair of Star Sydney, subject to regulatory approval.
Galloway, who will serve in the role for an initial three years, has commenced as an observer on the Star Sydney board. She will take up her role as chair in due course.
“I’m pleased to finalise these key appointments for Star,” group CEO and managing director Steve McCann said. “These appointments add to the depth of experience and talent at the board and executive level. They are a key step in Star’s progress to suitability.”
