Geoff Hogg resigns as Star’s acting CEO

The Star Entertainment Group has announced that Geoff Hogg has tendered his resignation as acting CEO and from all other positions at company.

The board has accepted his resignation. Hogg’s final departure date is yet to be determined. In the meantime, he will work with the board to transition his executive responsibilities in an orderly manner.

Ben Heap will assume the role of executive chairman on an interim basis, effective immediately and until the commencement of Robbie Cooke as the incoming managing director and CEO. 

Heap has declined to be paid any additional remuneration while he is acting in the executive chairman role. The Star will make a further announcement once the timing of Cooke’s commencement has been finalised.
