Hard Rock International has confirmed the launch of Hard Rock Japan and the appointment of Edward Tracy as chief executive officer of the company’s new division.
Mr. Tracy’s recent appointment is a strategic move designed to support the company’s growth plans in the region.
O Hard Rock não é estranho ao Japão com mais de 30 anos de experiência no país – abrindo seu primeiro café japonês em Tóquio com o parceiro de longa data, WDI Group, em 1983. Com seis locais do Hard Rock Cafe atualmente em operação, além de Com 24 hotéis e 11 cassinos em todo o mundo, o Hard Rock apresenta seu histórico comprovado de desenvolvimento e gerenciamento de locais distintos de entretenimento e hospitalidade. Com a recente aprovação do Projeto de Lei de Promoção de Resorts Integrados do Japão, a empresa pretende aplicar essa experiência e reconhecimento como um dos principais concorrentes entre os licitantes para licenças de resort.
“Como ex-CEO da Sands China Ltd e CEO da Trump Organization, Tracy traz mais de 30 anos de experiência comprovada em jogos, hospitalidade e resort integrado ao Hard Rock”, afirma Jim Allen, presidente da Hard Rock International. “Estamos confiantes na capacidade de Tracy de liderar os esforços da empresa no Japão e esperamos ver nossos negócios continuarem a crescer sob sua liderança.”

He was responsible for the oversight of the country’s largest integrated resort operator by revenue, capacity and content, with 13,000 hotels rooms and 30,000 team members. In October 2014, Harvard Business Review named Mr. Tracy as one of “The Best-Performing CEOs in the World” in its respected annual top 100 ranking. Prior to Sands, Mr. Tracy served as president and CEO of Capital Gaming, a multi-jurisdictional manager of regional casinos.
