Daisy Ho officially ushered in as new executive director of SJM Holdings

Macau casino operator SJM Holdings has appointed a new executive director after Dr. Rui Jose da Cunha retired from the board early this week.

Daisy Ho, a daughter of SJM Holdings’ founder Stanley Ho by his second consort, will replace da Cunha as executive director, effective June 13, the Hong Kong-listed casino company announced on Tuesday.

Ho has been the deputy managing director and chief financial officer of Shun Tak Holdings Limited—the transportation and property outfit started by her father—since 1999.  The younger Ho, who owns 8.4 percent stake in Shun Tak, is also a member of the executive committee, remuneration committee and nomination committee of Shun Tak and a director of a number of its subsidiaries.

The casino operator said Ho’s appointment as executive director doesn’t have a fixed term, but it will be subject to the arrangements of retirement by rotation and re-election at the annual grand meeting of the company. She will receive an annual director’s fee of HK$0.50 million on pro-rate basis in 2017.
