Anne Ward takes David Foster’s place as Chairman of Star Entertainment
By Phil - 29 April 2024
The Star Entertainment Group has confirmed that Ms Anne Ward has been appointed as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately, replacing David Foster.
For an interim period, Mr Foster will remain on the Board of The Star and continue his executive
responsibilities. A search for a permanent Group CEO was commenced in March.
Star is now over two weeks into facing its second inquiry, which got underway with the publication of a text conversation between Mr Foster and former CEO and Managing Director Robbie Cooke where they stated they were going to war with the New South Wales gaming regulator.
Mr Foster will also remain as a director of relevant subsidiary company boards until they can be
reconstituted by individuals holding necessary regulatory approvals. Ms Ward will receive the usual directors’ fees for performing the role of Chairman as disclosed in The Star’s most recent remuneration report.
