Australia's Crown Resorts Appoints Ziggy Switkowski as Chairman
Australia's Crown Resorts Ltd said on Thursday it had
appointed Ziggy Switkowski as chairman to succeed Helen Coonan as a broader
inquiry that could see the casino operator lose its licences nears an end.
Switkowski, currently non-executive chairman at broadband
provider NBN Co after a string of roles at different telcos, will join Crown
once regulatory clearances are received while insider Jane Halton will take on
the role in the interim, the company said.
Australia's most powerful inquiry, called the Royal
Commission, is currently assessing whether Crown can hold gambling licences in
Melbourne, Perth and Sydney after it was accused of ties to money laundering.
Earlier this month, the chief executive of Crown's Melbourne
operations, the company's biggest revenue generator, left after just eight
months in the position.
