Star Entertainment Group Undergoes Major Leadership Restructuring With New CEO Appointment

Star Entertainment Group Limited (SGR.AX) is navigating significant executive transitions, with Bruce Mathieson Jnr confirmed by the board as its new Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. However, this appointment remains subject to regulatory clearance and ministerial approvals in both New South Wales and Queensland.

The entertainment group’s leadership team is undergoing considerable restructuring. Group Chief Financial Officer Frank Krile has announced his resignation, with his exit effective December 29, 2025. Following suit, Group Chief Operating Officer Jeannie Mok will also step down, with her departure scheduled for the end of January 2026. The phased timing of these departures suggests a transitional period designed to maintain operational continuity.

Understanding The CFO And COO Transition

The simultaneous changes at the CFO and COO levels represent distinct organizational functions. While the Chief Operating Officer oversees day-to-day business operations and manages the company’s internal processes, the Chief Financial Officer handles fiscal matters, financial reporting, and capital management. With both roles vacant, Star Entertainment has initiated a comprehensive search to appoint a new Group Chief Financial Officer, with further announcements anticipated as the process develops.

The company is managing these executive changes while awaiting the necessary approvals from regulators and state ministers, indicating that the new CEO’s appointment, though confirmed by the board, remains conditional on satisfying external governance requirements.
