After three decades with MGM Resorts, Corey Sanders will step down on December 31. His role as chief operating officer will be taken over by Ayesha Molino.

Molino isn’t new to big responsibilities at MGM. She’s president and COO of ARIA and Vdara, where she runs operations at the AAA Five Diamond ARIA Resort & Casino and the AAA Four Diamond Vdara Hotel & Spa. On top of that, she also serves as the company’s chief public affairs officer, overseeing government affairs, corporate communications, and PR.

Bill Hornbuckle, President & CEO, MGM Resorts, said in a statement:

“Ayesha is an exceptionally gifted strategic thinker and operator who excels at managing through complexity, earning her the respect of her colleagues and peers throughout the company. In fact, under Ayesha’s leadership, ARIA has posted all-time records in EBITDAR, annual revenue, hotel and casino revenue, ADR and Gold+ NPS scores, to name just a few.

Ayesha’s ability to unite teams, drive results, and navigate challenges makes her the perfect leader to succeed Corey as COO. I am confident she will continue to help shape our future growth and success.”

In another move, Gary Fritz, currently president of MGM Resorts International Interactive, has been named chief commercial officer and president of MGM Digital.
