Max Tappeiner has been named president of Wynn Al Marjan Island development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by Wynn Resorts Ltd. The announcement, which was posted on LinkedIn, represents a critical turning point for the project.
With effect from September 1, Max Tappeiner, who is presently the executive vice president of operations at Wynn Las Vegas, will become the presidency.
