Caesars Entertainment named Christian Stuart to its senior management team in the newly created position of executive vice president of gaming and interactive entertainment. Stuart, who joined Caesars in 2003, will be responsible for all gaming products and services across Caesars’ 47 casino properties in 13 states and five nations. He also will oversee the development of gaming product innovations and Caesars’ efforts to integrate mobility, technology and innovation with gaming, hospitality and entertainment offerings.
Most recently, Stuart served as senior vice president and chief of staff to Caesars Entertainment President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Frissora. He brings to his new position experience in analytics, operations, finance and marketing through stints in several Caesars Entertainment markets, including New Orleans, Gulf Coast, London, Egypt and South Africa. Stuart joined Caesars in Las Vegas in 2012 as general manager of the Cromwell, Flamingo Las Vegas and the Linq Hotel & Casino, and also served as regional chief marketing officer.
Frissora said, “As technology continues to evolve, our gaming and entertainment offerings must also grow to meet the needs and expectations of our customers. While we have excelled at creating some of the most popular gaming and entertainment experiences in the world, Christian’s appointment underscores our companywide commitment to continually advance these efforts. In addition, under Christian’s leadership Caesars will pursue a gaming development roadmap that creates new products, greater customer engagement and more interactive experiences. Special emphasis will be placed on mobile connectivity and apps within our worldwide resort properties.”
Stuart added, “Our more than 50 million Total Rewards customers have come to expect Caesars to be at the forefront of the gaming and entertainment industry. While traditional gaming technology continues to advance year after year, there are also new trends emerging for more multi-player, skill based games in social settings. We will add leadership resources and capital in order to develop these new immersive technologies and interactive environments.”
