Harris boasts extensive experience in the finance world, having worked in several prestigious financial executive leadership positions for over 20 years now, most recently serving as executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of MIB.

Before arriving at MIB, Harris worked as chief financial officer (CFO) of UMUC Ventures, also working the same position at Bullis School and BondFactor.

Bally’s Made Deal with International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) in December 2022

In other recent Bally’s news, the casino operator entered into a labor neutrality agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) in December 2022 concerning specifically its Tropicana Las Vegas retail property.

What the two agreed on exactly is their respective stances on union organizing campaigns, with both vowing to adopt a neutral stance. For a little background – the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) is the 10th largest union in the AFL-CIO conglomerate, showcasing approximately 400,000 active members in 123 local unions.

Bally’s chairman Soo Kim paid great overture to Bally’s employees, going so far as to claim that they are the corporation’s strongest and most crucial asset:

“Bally’s employees are our most valuable asset, and we have worked hard to ensure that they maintain an unimpeded right to select their representation. We have an established track record of building positive relationships with organized labor and look forward to continuing to foster our relationship with IUOE.”

For the union’s part, Jose Soto, Organizing Director of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 501, claimed it was appreciative of Bally’s commitment to supporting organized labor:

“Bally’s and IUOE are aligned in our efforts to advance employee representation locally and at the national level. As a result of the commitment and integrity demonstrated by Mr. Kim and his team, we’ve developed a strong relationship with Bally’s that we are confident will benefit the company’s workforce for many years to come.”Jose Soto, Organizing Director, International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 501, Press Release

Casino Operator Picked New Chief Legal Officer Also in December 2022

Further executive-level appointments for Bally’s arrived as recently as December 2022, when the casino giant announced the appointment of Kim Barker Lee as its latest executive vice president and chief legal officer.

Lee now directs Bally’s multiple legal and public affairs teams, and arrives at the company most recently from International Game Technology (IGT), where she served a vice president of diversity and inclusion. Lee believes Bally’s finds itself in a strong position at the moment, while also seeing a bright future ahead:

“I’m pleased to be joining Bally’s during such an exciting time; the opportunities for growth are significant as the company advances its transformation into a global omni-channel gaming leader. I’ve spent much of my career deploying leadership and operational strategies in the lottery and gaming space, so I understand how the industry works and the challenges that must be overcome. I look forward to this next chapter and to playing a part in Bally’s continued success.”
