Skift Take

Wynn Al Marjan Island is on its second president, and that's before its opening three years from now. Leading the hotel now is a steady hand from Las Vegas.

Wynn Resorts' upcoming resort in the UAE has a new president, Max Tappeiner. He joins the Al Marjan Island project from Wynn Las Vegas where he was executive vice president of operations for a year. He replaces Thomas Schoen as chief of the Ras Al Khaimah resort, who joined only in May last year.

Wynn did not specify the status of Schoen's position. Skift has reached out for a comment.

Tappeiner will begin on September 1, acco
