The Star confirms CFO and COO departures

The Star Entertainment Group has confirmed further executive changes, with Group CFO Frank Krile and Group COO Jeannie Mok set to leave the Australian casino operator in the coming weeks.

Krile will step down from the business effective 29 December 2025, while Mok will depart at the end of January 2026. The Star said it will begin a search process for a new group CFO and will provide an update to the market "in due course".

The resignations come as the operator continues work on its remediation plan, following several years of regulatory scrutiny and findings relating to governance and compliance controls across its New South Wales and Queensland operations.

The Star has not named interim replacements for either role. However, the operator has previously indicated that maintaining executive continuity and ongoing engagement with regulators and government stakeholders remains a priority as it works through compliance milestones and operational reforms.

Bruce Mathieson Jnr, who has recently been serving in a senior leadership capacity, said: "I would like to thank Frank and Jeannie for their significant contribution to the business and particularly their assistance in progressing our remediation plan."

Mathieson added: "I wish them both well in their future endeavours."

The Star's remediation work has focused on strengthening internal controls, oversight and governance processes. The operator has also been navigating changes at board level, including committee and secretariat adjustments, in parallel with senior management transitions.

Earlier this month, The Star announced a series of board changes that included the appointment of Bally's Corporation nominees Soo Kim and George Papanier as directors. Former chair Anne Ward and non-executive director Deborah Page stepped down, while veteran auditor Don Pasquariello was appointed as a non-executive director, subject to regulatory approval.
