Resorts World Sentosa said that Chen\u2019s appointment reflects a \u201ccontinued focus on leadership renewal and sustained operational performance as the resort advances its transformation under RWS 2.0.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As COO, Si will assist RWS chief executive officer, Lee Shi Ruh<\/strong>. He has nearly two decades of international experience in the gaming and hospitality industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe welcome Mr. Si and look forward to his contributions as RWS continues its journey of transformation and growth, reinforcing its position as the leading integrated resort and premier tourism destination in Asia,\u201d RWS said in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the weekend, Chen posted a farewell to INSPIRE: \u201cToday I say goodbye to my beloved Inspire. It was the biggest professional challenge of my life – a multi-billion dollar landmark of national significance but plagued with financing and licensing hurdles, construction delays and labor shortages, all took place during Covid,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chen noted that the resort turned EBITDA positive in the first full year of operation and surpassed \u201cneighbouring frienemy\u201d in gross gaming revenue in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhile any of these posts inevitably goes back to recognising the team and people we work with, I do feel that being in Korea, with that almost stubbornly emotional connection to the company and each other, and that \u201cPali Pali\u201d mindset, our Inspire team was really the secret sauce in achieving the opening and ramp up. And for that, I thank my wonderful colleagues and feeling grateful knowing that now I have so many friends in this fascinating country,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/chen-si-600x600.jpg\")
