Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group has announced that Scott Saunders has stepped down as group chief risk officer. The casino operator said Saunders will continue in the role until January 31, 2025, to continue the ongoing work with The Star\u2019s remediation program and to facilitate an orderly transition to his successor once appointed. He will cease to be a director of all relevant subsidiary company boards on his departure date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before joining The Star, Saunders served as general manager, financial crime and chief compliance officer at the Australian banking group Westpac.
