MGM Resorts has named Steve Zanella, one of the company’s long-time Las Vegas executives, as its new President and COO of Japan Operations – responsible for ensuring the US$10 billion MGM Osaka integrated resort development meets expected world-class standards.
Zanella’s new position forms part of an extensive organizational restructure under which there have been multiple new appointments and promotions, including Ayesha Molino replacing outgoing Chief Operating Officer Corey Sanders.
Sean Lanni, who spent time with MGM Grand Macau during its early years, will expand his current role as President & COO of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to include ARIA, Vdara and Park MGM.
The internal movements were announced to MGM staff via an internal memo from the company’s President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle.
