Ed Domingo is set to succeed Mike Volkert as the new CEO of Crown Melbourne, the company had declared.

The company thanked Volkert “for his leadership steering Crown Melbourne through a period of significant transformation.’ Volkert announced his intention to step down after two and a half years to pursue an opportunity outside of Crown.

Domingo brings over 20 years of experience in the hospitality and casino industry. Most recently, he served as the president and COO of Empire City Casino in New York with MGM Resorts International, where he oversaw all day-to-day operations of the resort.

He will begin with Crown Melbourne in late April, with Volkert continuing to serve as CEO until that time.

“Ed has a proven track record in leading integrated resorts, and we are thrilled to welcome him to Crown Melbourne,” said Crown Resorts CEO, David Tsai. “With his extensive industry experience across various gaming jurisdictions, Ed is well-positioned to lead Crown Melbourne’s next phase of growth and success.

“I would also like to extend my gratitude to Mike for his invaluable contribution over the past two and a half years, including his leadership in our transformation journey.”
