Seneca Gaming Ousts Ceo

(April 2009) posted on Mon Apr 27, 2009 EDT


Seneca Gaming Corp. (SGC) announced the departure of president and ceo, Brian Hansberry. SGC chairman Cochise Redeye said the action "builds upon the Seneca Nation Council's recent reform-oriented actions, as well as those of the SGC board of directors, and is largely driven by the recognition that meeting our future goals in these challenging and uncertain economic times requires a new direction."

The company said chief operating officer Catherine Walker will assume Hansberry's titles on an interim basis. Walker joined SGC in March 2008 after working for the Trump organization since 2000. "We have been impressed over the past year with Ms. Walker's steady and innovative approaches to many of the difficult challenges our industry has faced," said chairman Redeye. "We have every confidence in her ability to work with the board in implementing our priorities."

SGC operates the Seneca Nation of Indians gaming complexes in western New York. Its properties are the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls, which opened in 2002; the Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel in Salamanca, which opened in 2004; and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo, New York, which is slated to open in 2010.
