Rodney Williams joins Board of Directors for Caesars Entertainment

Williams recently stepped down as President of the Diageo Beer Company and Diageo Canada.
Caesars Entertainment has announced the appointment of Rodney Williams to the company’s Board of Directors, effective July 1 and subject to required regulatory approvals and pending licensure.
Williams recently stepped down as President of the Diageo Beer Company and President of Diageo Canada where he oversaw new momentum for Guinness beer.
“Rodney is an important addition to the Caesars Entertainment leadership team. Rodney’s career leading some of the world’s best-known beverage brands gives him unmatched perspective in the hospitality industry,” Caesars Entertainment Executive Chairman of the Board Gary Carano said.
“His exceptional track record in luxury and premium brand building during his time with Diageo and LVMH and his continued commitment to the food and beverage industry through his service as a trustee and executive committee member of the James Beard Foundation will give us added insights into the continuing confluence of entertainment with the culinary arts as we shepherd Caesars Entertainment into the future.”
Prior to joining Diageo in 2022, Williams spent 11 years at Moet Hennessy, the wine and spirits division of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. His last role there was as Maison (or global) President of Belvedere Vodka, the first American to become a Maison president at Moet Hennessy.
“I’m pleased to have Rodney Williams join our Board of Directors. Rodney brings a different perspective to hospitality, having experienced it from the upper echelon of luxury beverage brands,” Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg said.
“His experience in innovation, digital and experiential marketing and implementing optimization makes him a good strategic fit for our Board of Directors. I look forward to working with him to continue to drive results for our guests, team members and shareholders.”
With the addition of Williams, Caesars Entertainment’s Board of Directors will grow to 11 members.
