Trump Entertainment Resorts Chief Financial Officer David R. Hughes has been named the new CFO of Shore Medical Center in Somers Point, New Jersey. He will resign his position with Trump and resume his new position effective January 13.
Hughes was recently elected to the Trump Board of Directors as chairman of the board’s finance committee, and resigned a similar position with the Shore Medical Center Board of Trustees to pursue the medical center’s CFO position.
Hughes, a native of Somers Point, has been executive vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer of Trump Entertainment since November 2010. Prior to Trump, he was executive VP and CFO of MTR Gaming Group, and was chief operating officer of MTR’s flagship Mountaineer property in West Virginia. He also served as CFO of Penn National’s Charles Town property in West Virginia, and held executive finance positions with major gaming properties throughout the U.S., including Sun International. He began his career at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.
“We were honored when David joined the Finance Committee of our Board of Trustees, and are fortunate that he is now able and willing to join our organization in the role of CFO,” said Shore Medical CEO Ron Johnson. “David is highly regarded within the financial community. His knowledge, expertise and relationships will play a strategic role in the continuing financial stability and growth of Shore Medical Center. David has been successful in everything he has pursued. I am confident he will do very well in his role at Shore.”
