NagaWorld's Chief Operations Officer Resigns
NagaWorld's chief operations officer has resigned 10 months after being appointed to the position, according to a statement issued by the casino operator yesterday.
Mark Brown, who was brought into the company in December to foster the casino firm’s VIP junket program and help drive the company’s expansion into Russia, tendered his resignation with parent company NagaCorp effective last Sunday.

In September last year, the gaming company entered into an agreement with the Russian government to build a 1,000-room hotel and casino in Vladivostok by 2018 with an initial investment of $350 million.
But, according to a transcript of an investor’s phone conference, conducted on August 7 this year and obtained by the Post, NagaCorp is now reconsidering its all-in approach.
“Recently, we have had a re-think about the project, and our thought is that we should start small rather than go big,” Philip Lee, chief financial officer for NagaCorp was quoted as saying in the transcript.
“Now, $50 million is something we can swallow quite easily, and the rest of [the Russian project] to be developed in phases, up to a total of $350 million,” Lee said, adding that the new approach will hopefully fast track the casino’s.....
