It takes two to replace Grant Bowie as MGM China boss

Casino operator MGM China has found it needs two people to take the reins from outgoing CEO Grant Bowie.

This week, MGM China co-chair and managing director Pansy Ho issued a memo to staff informing them that CFO and hospitality president Hubert Zi Qi Wang had been elevated to president and chief operating officer with responsibility for business development, casino operations, hospitality, security and digital & technology solutions.

At the same time, current chief strategy officer Kenneth Xiaofeng Feng has been bumped up to president, strategic and CFO overseeing finance, human resources, brand marketing, internal audit and design, development & property operations.  

Both men are longstanding MGM China veterans, with Feng’s tenure dating back to 2001 while Wang has been in the fold since 2011. Both men are being asked to fill the void left by Bowie, MGM China’s CEO, who last month announced his intention to surrender the reins as of May 31.
