Ray Pineault, CEO, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment
A former president and general manager of Mohegan Sun has been appointed to lead the casino’s parent company, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, as CEO.
MGE officials announced that Ray Pineault, who has been acting as the company’s interim CEO since March, will keep the chief executive job permanently. Pineault’s appointment was effective immediately.
“We are tremendously lucky to have someone of Ray’s caliber, experience and intellect taking on this role,” said James Gessner Jr., chairman of the Mohegan Tribe and MGE management board. “His grasp of our organization and all its moving parts across nine worldwide properties is unmatched. Having someone with these abilities come from within our tribal membership makes this day all the more meaningful.”
Pineault formerly served as president and general manager of Mohegan Sun, MGE’s flagship establishment, and before becoming interim CEO he held the title of chief operating officer at MGE.
MGE is currently in the midst of an ambitious expansionary phase, having opened a new casino in Las Vegas in April. The company is also pursuing integrated resort-casino projects in Greece and Japan.
