Mohegan Inspire, the eagerly awaited US $5 billion casino resort project by the Mohegan Tribe, is poised to make an impact on the future of the entertainment industry in Incheon, South Korea. As the grand opening of this ambitious project draws near, Mohegan Inspire has introduced significant changes in its leadership team to ensure the project’s success.
Experience Counts
The Mohegan Tribe, renowned for its world-class gaming and entertainment destinations such as Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and Mohegan, Pennsylvania, embarked on the Mohegan Inspire project in February 2016. This exceptional resort, strategically located at the Incheon International Airport, promises to offer a unique blend of luxury, entertainment, integrated casino slots and convenience.
Managing such a high-profile venue necessitates exceptional leadership with a deep understanding of local challenges and opportunities. Chen Si’s appointment as President of the new project brings with it a wealth of experience in the gaming and hospitality industry. Si expressed his optimism about the project, pledging to lead Mohegan toward a future filled with inspiration and growth.
“As we begin this next venture for the Mohegan brand in South Korea, I am motivated by the promise of innovation, rich cultural exchange, and strengthened partnerships,” said Chen Si.
Si’s impressive track record includes leadership roles at industry giants such as Sands China and Las Vegas Sands. His previous position as EVP and Head of Casino & Hotel at Macau Legend Development further underscores his expertise in the gaming and hospitality sectors.
A Seasoned Addition to the Team
Joining Chen Si is Wade Howk, a seasoned executive in the entertainment and leisure industry, who assumes the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Mohegan Inspire. Howk, with prior experience as the CFO for Hard Rock Cincinnati and Corporate VP of Strategy at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, brings his financial strategy and operational excellence skills to drive lasting growth for the project.
“I am thrilled to take on this new position and contribute to one of 2023’s top global workplaces. We are committed to maintaining a focus on excellence and visionary leadership, ensuring guests enjoy an unparalleled experience across all Mohegan properties,” stated Wade Howk.
A Vision of Excellence and Innovation
As Mohegan Inspire gears up to become one of South Korea’s premier luxury integrated casino resorts and entertainment destinations, the new leadership appointments signify the company’s dedication to excellence and innovation. With plans to open its doors before 2024, the resort promises a world-class array of amenities that will redefine the hospitality industry in the region.
