Crown Resorts Names David Tsai as New CEO to Lead Transformation and Growth

Australia’s Crown Resorts has confirmed David Tsai’s appointment as Group Chief Executive Officer following Ciarán Carruthers’s departure. Tsai, who assumed the role of Acting CEO in August, joined Crown as CEO of Crown Perth in December 2022, later advancing to President and Group COO in July. He has played an instrumental role in guiding the company through a pivotal period of transformation, including leading Perth’s reform and remediation efforts.

Crown Chairman John Borghetti described Tsai as a highly capable executive with a strong record in integrated resorts management, demonstrating both commercial acumen and strategic insight. Borghetti added that Tsai’s values aligned with Crown’s cultural and team-oriented approach, positioning him well to continue driving Crown’s transformation and growth. As CEO, Tsai is set to prioritize guest experience across all resorts, oversee refurbishments, and launch new entertainment offerings in 2025 and beyond while maintaining a focus on safe and responsible gaming. The board expressed confidence in Tsai’s leadership and enthusiasm for his appointment.

Tsai conveyed his eagerness to lead Crown Resorts into its next chapter, aiming to make Crown the premier entertainment destination across its locations, with support from a dedicated team to ensure long-term success.

Tsai’s appointment follows Crown’s recent return to regulatory suitability in Victoria and New South Wales, where its flagship properties, Crown Melbourne and Crown Sydney, are located. His extensive experience as a senior executive at U.S. casino leader MGM Resorts further underscores Crown’s commitment to transforming its operations and strengthening its position within the entertainment industry.
