Atlantis Paradise Island casino welcomes first female president

The Atlantis Paradise Island resort casino in the Bahamas has a new president, but we’ve yet to learn exactly what happened to the last one.

On Monday, the Atlantis’ owners, Brookfield Asset Management, announced the hiring of Audrey Oswell as the resort’s new president and managing director. Oswell (pictured), who joined Atlantis last year and was appointed senior VP of sales in February, is the first female president the property has hired.

Oswell has over three decades of experience in the hospitality and gaming industries, including past stints as interim CEO of Seneca Gaming, president and COO at Caesars Atlantic City, and CEO of Resorts International Atlantic City.

Brookfield has yet to explain exactly what happened to Atlantis’ former captain Howard Karawan, who was abruptly shown the door last week just one year after he replaced Paul Burke as Atlantis president and managing director.
