Cannery Casinos is taking a new approach to the future by changing around the upper level management. Tom Lettero will now serve as the president of the Casino resort while keeping his position as the Chief Financial Officer.
The Cannery Casino Resort has also brought in an Australian from the casino company, Crown Ltd. Xavier Walsh will take over as the Chief Operating Officer, the position formerly held by Tom Lettero before his shift to president.
These two changes in upper management of the casino resort have resulted in the release of co- Chief Executive Officers William Wortman and Bill Paulos who will now step down. This shift will see Paulos and Wortman removed from the day to day operations of the casino. “This structure allows them to travel and not worry about how the company runs,” Cannery spokesman Tom Willer said. “They’re involved in the strategic decision-making of the properties and the company overall. They’re involved in the strategic direction of the company and the growth and development of Cannery Casino Resorts.”
Lettero has been associated in upper level management positions since 2005 when he first joined Cannery Casinos. “Tom Lettero has been a key player throughout his tenure with (the company) and has played a crucial role in the growth and expansion of the company,” Wortman said in a statement. “We look forward to his continued success at Cannery Casino Resorts.”
Walsh will be responsible for the casinos in North Las Vegas and the Rampart Casino in Summerlin. “Xavier Walsh has the experience and expertise that will make him an excellent fit for the Cannery Casino Resorts family,” Paulos said in a statement. “We are very pleased he has joined our team and look forward to his growth and success within our company.”
Both of these casino executives come from years of experience with land based casino operation and should be a crucial fix for the future of Cannery Casinos.
