Echo Entertainment’s CEO, Larry Mullin, has announced he will be stepping down from the position at the end of January next year.

 

Mr Mullin will remain with the company to oversea the completion of the redevelopment of the The Star complex in Sydney before stepping down next year.

 

The company’s board has announced it has appointed an international executive recruitment firm to conduct a global search for Mr Mullin’s replacement.

 

“The Board unanimously thanks Mr Mullin for his leadership of the business.  This has included the demerger of Echo from Tabcorp Holdings Limited, the redevelopment of the landmark casino and entertainment precinct around The Star in Sydney, and the planned revitalisation of Echo’s casinos in Queensland,” Echo Chairman John O’Neill said.

 

“Larry’s insights and expertise have provided energy and direction for our casino and entertainment business, especially in Sydney where the redevelopment of The Star is now starting to deliver strong growth.

 

Mr Mullin thanked the board, saying he had enjoyed his time at Echo and that he was grateful for the support he had received in the role.
