Liu has extensive experience in the entertainment, hospitality, and financial services sectors in China and the Asia Pacific region.
During his career, Liu served as a partner at the global leadership consultancy firm Egon Zehnder for 11 years and also held the position of Chief Operating Officer at Anschutz Entertainment Group China, a prominent entertainment company.
Liu is the founder of Three On The Bund, a luxury lifestyle destination based in Shanghai, and has also held executive roles at CIMIC Holdings, Bank of America (Asia), and Union Bank of Switzerland.
Wynn Resorts, which operates the Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace Cotai locations in Asia Pacific, appointed Liu as an independent director due to his track record in creating exceptional guest experiences in the luxury and hospitality sectors and his understanding of business talent in the Asia Pacific market.
Earlier this year, Wynn Resorts provided an update on its new integrated casino resort, Wynn Al Marjan Island, located in the United Arab Emirates. The resort, expected to open in 2027, will feature a gaming area, hotel, dining and lounge options, spa, and various entertainment facilities.
Wynn Resorts is collaborating with local partners Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding for the development of the new resort. Thomas Schoen has been appointed as the president of the resort and will be responsible for overseeing its operations.
The market is eagerly awaiting Wynn Resorts’ second quarter and first half performance, which will be announced on 9th August. The company’s performance in Las Vegas, where competitors like Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts have reported declines or limited growth, will be closely watched. On the other hand, Wynn Macau, the company’s Asian subsidiary, is expected to show strong growth as the region rebounds.
