Nigel Morrison SkyCity Entertainment's CEO quits his position and will be leaving the company on April 29. New Zealand.- Nigel Morrison, SkyCity Entertainment's CEO, resigned due to the "incredible" demands of the job. SkyCity's chief operating officer John Mortensen has been appointed as the interim boss. The decision came unexpectedly as SkyCity just started the construction of its US$ 527 million New Zealand convention centre in Auckland and has yet to determine the schedule of a US$226 million expansion of its Adelaide casino. SkyCity reported a 28 percent grow to its first-half net profit in February. However, to retain its BBB- credit rating, SkyCity must keep its debt to EBITDA ratio at less than three times. Rumour has it that the company may consider divesting its under-performing Darwin casino in addition to its already planned sale of Auckland City Hotel in Hobson Street.
