MGM Resorts expands board with Dame Donna Langley

MGM Resorts International has added Dame Donna Langley to its Board of Directors, expanding the board to 13 members.

As Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios, Langley oversees content strategy, programming, distribution, and marketing across platforms like Peacock, Bravo, and NBC.

With extensive experience in global entertainment leadership, she has contributed to film and television productions while steering NBCUniversal’s creative and business operations. Her appointment supports MGM Resorts’ ongoing expansion into gaming and live entertainment.

We welcome Donna to our board and look forward to leveraging her deep and valuable experience in the entertainment space as we continue developing and producing our own proprietary sports and entertainment content for our guests.
