Echo Entertainment has announced the appointment of John Redmond as the company’s new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

 

The announcement comes after Mr Redmond was appointed as an observer on the Board in September last year, and has served as a Non-Executive Director since March this year.

 

John O’Neill’, the company’s Chairman, welcomed the announcement, saying that Mr Redmond’s extensive experience in the gaming industry places him as an ideal fit to lead the company.

 

“John Redmond brings to the job an invaluable balance of experience covering casino and entertainment management, financial management, listed company leadership and casino regulatory experience,” Mr O’Neill said.

 

Mr Redmond’s appointment will take effect in January next year, provided all regulatory and immigration approvals are met.
