Wynn Resorts announced that its Board of Directors have unanimously voted Philip Satre Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Satre, an independent director who joined the Board in August 2018 as Vice Chairman, succeeds D. Boone Wayson who is retiring from the Board.
Mr. Wayson said: “We have ushered in a new era at Wynn Resorts, and I am proud of all the hard work the Board, our CEO Matt Maddox and the management team have done to improve the Company’s culture and corporate governance, while maintaining focus on shareholder value. Phil has transitioned seamlessly onto the Board, and the time is now right for me to retire. It has been an honour serving this great company, and I know its future is bright.”
Mr. Satre said: “I am honored to be named Chairman of the newly refreshed Wynn Resorts Board and look forward to continuing to support the Company’s transformation for the benefit of its shareholders and all of its stakeholders.”
Matt Maddox, VD för Wynn Resorts, sa: "Vi uppskattar Boones bidrag till vårt företag sedan starten och för hans ledarskap, vilket var avgörande för att upprätthålla stabiliteten på Wynn Resorts 2018. Han var avgörande för att driva nyckelinitiativ och i vår senaste styrelse förfriskningsprocess. Jag är glad över att ha en direktör av Phils kaliber för att efterträda Boone och hjälpa Wynn Resorts att befästa sin position som den främsta utvecklaren och operatören av lyxresort i världen.”
