In her new role, Simone will spearhead and oversee strategic initiatives for Mohegan Sun’s Earth Expo & Convention Center, Sky Convention Center and various other venues.

Mohegan Sun has named Kimberly Simone as its new VP of Sales & Marketing, having originally joined the property during September 2023 when she was appointed to the role of Director of Sales. 

“Kim Simone has demonstrated exceptional insight into market trends, and will now have a well-deserved promotion to VP as she oversees the impressive, large-scale and diverse sales and marketing strategy for Mohegan Sun’s Meetings & Conventions,” Mohegan Sun President & GM Jeff Hamilton said. 

“We are thrilled to welcome her to the Executive team. Her leadership, expertise and dedication in delivering exceptional experiences for our meeting planners, major groups and guests is a tremendous asset to Mohegan Sun.”

In her new role, Simone will spearhead and oversee strategic initiatives for the property’s Earth Expo & Convention Center, the Sky Convention Center and various other venues across Mohegan Sun and the nearby Mohegan Sun Golf Club.

Since joining Mohegan Sun during September 2023, Simone has played a “key role” in driving growth to Mohegan Sun’s convention sales and property-wide hospitality. She will continue to lead Mohegan Sun’s convention sales team with a focus on booking venues such as the Earth Expo & Convention Center.
