SkyCity Entertainment announced that it will appoint three new independent directors, including corporate lawyer Silvana Schenone, outgoing Summerset chief executive Julian Cook and former Star Entertainment CFO Chad Barton. The appointments follow the sudden retirement of Adelaide-based deputy chair Bruce Carter last week and several key personnel last year. Last November former CEO Graham Stephens, former chief financial officer Rob Hamilton and former chief marketing officer Liza McNally all announced resignations on the same day.
