Don Kornstein, Vice Chair for Caesars Entertainment's Board of Directors, notified the operator of his intention to retire from the position on December 3, but will continue to assume the role through the conclusion of 2025.
"After 12 years of active participation on the various Caesars entity boards, oversight of several strategic initiatives and the current focus on operations, I've decided the timing is right for this personal decision," Kornstein said.
"As an instrumental participant in the conception and completion of the merger between Caesars and Eldorado, I've enjoyed and will always appreciate the collaboration with Tom, the board and executive management in furtherance of the combined company's strategic goals."
Kornstein has served on various entity boards for Caesars Entertainment over the past 12 years, helping to guide several strategic initiatives as well as the current focus of operations.
"On behalf of the entire board, we thank Don for his many important contributions, dedication and stewardship, and we wish him well in his future endeavors," Caesars Executive Chairman Gary Carano said.
Caesars CEO Tom Reeg, also a member of the Board of the Directors, commented on Kornstein's retirement, having said, "Don has had a tremendous impact on Caesars, which is highlighted by his leadership and wise counsel relating to company and board matters.
"On behalf of the entire executive management team, we thank Don for his many valuable contributions and wish him well."
