Australia’s Star Entertainment Group Limited has revealed that its new Managing Director and CEO Robert Cooke will officially start in the role from next Monday 17 October after gaining regulatory approval in Queensland.
The former Tatts Group boss was originally appointed to the role in June, pending regulatory approvals in Queensland and NSW, replacing Matt Bekier in the role. Bekier stepped down in March amid an inquiry into Star’s Sydney operations, which ultimately found the company unsuitable to hold a NSW casino license.
