John M. Boushy brings more than 45 years of leadership experience in the gaming, hospitality, technology and entertainment industries. He is the Founder and Managing Member of Boushy Consulting, LLC, where he advises gaming operators, investors and senior executives on strategic, operational and development matters. Through his consulting practice, Boushy served in executive management roles with the parent company of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, was an advisor to the Second Priority Noteholders Committee during the bankruptcy of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, served on the board of Caesars Entertainment after its emergence from bankruptcy, and has served since 2015 as Co-Founder and Chairman of the parent company of ReelMetrics.
Prior to founding Boushy Consulting, Boushy served as Chief Executive Officer, President and Director of Ameristar Casinos, Inc., where he was responsible for leading all aspects of the company’s operations and growth strategy. Before joining Ameristar, he spent more than two decades with Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., holding a series of senior executive positions including Executive Vice President of Project Development, Design and Construction, Chief Integration Officer, Chief Information Officer, and Senior Vice President of Operations, Marketing and Technology.
During his tenure at Harrah’s, Boushy oversaw enterprise-wide strategic growth initiatives, enabled by the collaboration of operations, marketing, and information technology; led the integration of the landmark merger between Harrah’s Entertainment and Caesars Entertainment, delivering twice the proforma synergies; and directed major development and capital investment projects. He is widely recognized as an innovator in the application of technology, marketing analytics and operational excellence within the gaming industry, which powers what is now Caesars Total Rewards.
