SPV of Strategic Development elevated to Chief Strategy Officer

The company confirmed on Monday it looked from within for the appointment of a new Chief Strategy Officer.

Mohegan selected Nelson Parker for the important role. Before his appointment to the Chief Strategy Officer role, he served as the company's Senior Vice President of Strategic Development.

Taking on the new position, Parker is expected to play a key role in the future growth of Mohegan. He will be tasked with overseeing capital planning, as well as identifying growth opportunities.

As Chief Strategy Officer, Parker will ensure the successful implementation of growth strategies and collaborate with Mohegan's executive team.

The latest C-suite promotion helps the company further strengthen its executive-level team.

Parker's appointment as Chief Strategy Officer follows another C-suite appointment dating back to March.

At the time, Mohegan bolstered its executive team with the addition of Ari Glazer.

Joining the company, the executive with more than two decades of investment banking experience, was appointed to the role of Chief Financial Officer.

Parker is delighted to continue his employment with Mohegan

Mohegan's new Chief Strategy Officer shared his excitement in a statement.

"I am honored to be a part of Mohegan's executive leadership team and contribute to the company's dynamic growth and strategic vision," he revealed.

Finally, Parker pointed out: "Leveraging my experience in the gaming and hospitality sectors, I look forward to identifying new opportunities and driving initiatives that will enhance our offerings and expand our global footprint."

Parker joined Mohegan back in 2022.

Prior to becoming a part of the company's C-suite, he was employed by Driftwood Capital.

Throughout his professional career, Parker also held the role of SVP of Corporate Development at Penn National Gaming.

His professional background includes important C-suite roles with Argosy Gaming, Hard Rock International and Foxwoods Resort Casino.

The skills brought by the new Chief Strategy Officer will be invaluable

Ray Pineault, Mohegan's President and Chief Executive Officer, welcomed Parker to the new role and praised his track record and extensive experience within the hospitality and gambling industries.

"His skills will be invaluable as we continue to expand our footprint globally and explore new opportunities," added Pineault.

Earlier this year, Mohegan hired Kurt Shotzberger for the role of VP of Financial Planning & Analysis. The experienced executive brought extensive knowledge and skills to the company.

Considering the latest appointment announced by Mohegan, it is clear that the company remains laser-focused on further growth and expansion on a global scale.
