Caesars Entertainment has announced a further strengthening of its board of directors, with Denise M Clark set to be appointed subject to required regulatory approvals.
Clark currently serves as a member of United Natural Foods board of directors, where she is a member of both the audit and nominating & governance committees.
Jim Hunt, chairman of the board at Caesars, commented: “Denise is a well-respected and experienced corporate leader, with a proven track record of success throughout her career across a variety of areas, including technology and global operations, which are important to Caesars as we move forward.
“She is a natural problem solver and will be a welcome addition to the Caesars boardroom.”
Bringing in excess of two decades experiences serving a plethora of highly complex organisations, the addition of Clark takes the board of directors member numbers to eleven.
Mark Frissora, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment, said of the pending appointment: “As we continue to execute on the technology transformation of Caesars Entertainment, we have focused on developing scalable platforms that can readily take advantage of growth opportunities, and allow us to bring the Caesars experience efficiently to new markets.
“Denise will bring to our board extremely relevant perspectives, as we continue to implement our growth and value creation strategies.”
Recently retiring from the role of chief information officer at the $12bn Estée Lauder, previous prior experience undertaken by Clark also encapsulated 12 years spent with the United States Navy, specialising in advanced cryptology for the National Security Agency and ending with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Speaking of her new direction, Clark added: “I’m pleased to be joining the Caesars board as the company enters into its next phase of growth and development.
“I look forward to working with my fellow directors and the management team, as the company continues to execute on its strategies to deliver increased and sustainable long-term value.”
