Former Star Entertainment Group COO Damian Quayle has joined Macau’s SJM Resorts as Chief Gaming Officer, the veteran gaming executive has announced via social media.
Quayle revealed via LinkedIn that he started in the new role in September, having recently completed a short stint with LET Group’s Westside Integrated Resort Manila project in the Philippines. No further details on the new role were revealed.
The appointment sees Quayle return to Macau some 13 years after leaving Melco-Crown where he served as Director Table Games Administration between 2008 and 2011. He was previously Table Games Operations Manager with Wynn Macau.
Quayle is perhaps best known for a lengthy 11-year stint with Star Entertainment Group, most recently Chief Operating Officer – Sydney and Gold Coast.
SJM recently reported GGR of HK$6.90 billion (US$885 million) in the three months to 30 June 2024, flat compared with the March 2024 quarter but up 30.5% versus the same period in 2023. However, the company has faced challenges in ramping up its Cotai integrated resort Grand Lisboa Palace which currently holds a 2.2% share of the Macau market.
