His unique talent to both manage a complicated construction process while listening to the needs of key stakeholders was essential to our success.”
Wynn CEO Matt Maddox said in a statement, “Bob DeSalvio’s ability to partner with community leaders and elected officials, assemble a world-class team and lead them to produce and launch a project of the highest quality is remarkable.
Wynn Resorts credited DeSalvio with overseeing a successful opening after a years-long, high-stakes process - one that was often fraught with controversy leading up to the June opening. Wynn Resorts, which owns the casino, said in a news release that DeSalvio is “stepping down” and will be replaced by Brian Gullbrants, a former top Ritz-Carlton executive who’s been running food and beverage at Encore’s luxury hotel. Encore Boston Harbor chief Bob DeSalvio is out less than five months after the huge Everett casino opened.
