Argosy Names New Senior Vice President of Operations

McDowell, a member of the Argosy management team since she joined the company in 1997, was most recently Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing and will retain her responsibilities for Marketing and MIS. McDowell replaces Jim Gulbrandsen in her new position. Gulbrandsen remains a Senior Vice President with the Company, but will focus more on Argosy's strategic growth by lending his operational expertise to the development team.

"Virginia has proven herself to be an invaluable asset to the company over the years," said Richard J. Glasier, President & CEO. "We're very pleased to have someone with her level of expertise to help Argosy as we move forward to the next level."

A seasoned executive with over twenty years of experience in the gaming industry, McDowell worked in Atlantic City for fifteen years prior to joining Argosy. She began her casino career as a publicist, and held senior management positions in public relations, entertainment and casino marketing before being promoted to Vice President of Business Development at Tropicana Casino and Resort, at the time the largest casino megafacility in Atlantic City. Prior to her gaming career, she served as a production assistant working in both radio and television at WCAU, the CBS network affiliate in Philadelphia, PA.
