While awaiting regulatory clearances, Crown Resorts has named Ed Domingo as the new CEO of Crown Melbourne. After more than two years in the position, Mike Volkert is leaving to pursue new possibilities outside of Crown, and Domingo will take over.
Domingo has worked in the gaming and hospitality industries for more than 20 years. Prior to this assignment, he was the President and COO of MGM Resorts International’s Empire City Casino in New York. He oversaw day-to-day activities in that capacity and helped the property flourish.
Extensive Industry Experience
Prior to his time at Empire City, Domingo held the position of Senior Vice President and CFO at Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, a flagship luxury resort for MGM Resorts International. He also gained valuable leadership experience at Caesars Entertainment and Rush Street Gaming, further expanding his knowledge across various gaming jurisdictions.
Crown Resorts CEO David Tsai praised Domingo’s leadership skills, stating, “Ed has a proven track record in leading integrated resorts, and we are thrilled to welcome him to Crown Melbourne. With his extensive industry experience across various gaming jurisdictions, Ed is well-positioned to lead Crown Melbourne’s next phase of growth and success.”
Domingo will officially begin his new role in late April. Until then, Volkert will remain as CEO to ensure a seamless leadership transition.
Reflecting on his appointment, Domingo said, “I am incredibly excited to join Crown Melbourne, which has held an iconic role in Melbourne’s entertainment and tourism landscape for 30 years. I look forward to joining the thousands of amazing team members there and leading Crown Melbourne’s next phase of transformation and growth, bringing innovative venues to life and creating dynamic experiences for our guests, all while operating at industry-leading standards.”
Crown Melbourne Chairman Ian Silk expressed appreciation for Volkert’s leadership. He noted, “I would like to thank Mike for his leadership and dedication to Crown Melbourne over the last two and a half years. Ed is a highly accomplished and experienced executive with proven success at similar organizations, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact of his leadership.”
