CLAIMS TO FAME
- A 10-year veteran at MGM China
- Part of pre-opening teams for The Venetian Macao and Marina Bay Sands
Since his appointment as MGM China’s President and Chief Operating Officer following the retirement of CEO Grant Bowie in 2020, Hubert Wang has become an increasingly visible of the company’s executive team.
Formerly VP of Finance and CFO but now serving directly under Pansy Ho, he can regularly be heard outlining MGM China’s latest developments on its quarterly earnings calls and has become the face of the company at industry events.
Such accessibility suggests Wang has plenty to talk about: a fact that’s hard to argue given the strong momentum it has built post-COVID. Buoyed by the Macau government’s decision to grant the company an additional 198 gaming tables under the annual cap (around 150 are in use currently), MGM China was the first Macau concessionaire to see its mass gaming revenues recover to 100% of pre-COVID levels and according to analysts is well-placed to gain valuable market share in the months and years ahead.
Wang has also made it clear that MGM wants to become a serious player in the premium mass segment by targeting former junket players – not necessarily their own – and bringing them in-house. No doubt they are better placed to achieve this now than at any time in the past.
Wang’s vast experience remains invaluable to the MGM brand, having spent many years in the United States with Las Vegas Sands, Caesars and Penn National before returning to Asia to be part of the pre-opening teams on The Venetian Macao, opened in 2007, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, which opened in 2010. He joined MGM China in July 2011.
