In his new role, Ladany will lead the company’s ongoing merger, acquisition and development efforts. He joined the company in September 2014 as vice president of finance and served in that role until March 2019, when he was promoted to senior vice president of finance.

Prior to joining GLP, Ladany served as a vice president at Revel Casino Hotel, a regional gaming property currently known as Ocean Casino Resort.

“Steve brings extensive gaming industry and finance experience to his new role and has played an active role in identifying and consummating transactions for GLP with prospective and existing tenants over the past six years,” said Peter Carlino, chairman and CEO of GLP.

“He has fostered deep, collegial and collaborative relationships across the gaming sector and with our roster of industry-leading tenants. We look forward to Steve’s continuing contributions as we prudently, yet aggressively seek to further expand and diversify our tenant roster, grow our dividend and create new long-term value for our shareholders.”
