Murren joined the MGM as CFO and a member of its board of directors in 1998. He became president and CEO in 2007. He stepped down from MGM on Feb. 12. Murren is also a member of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.
Murren is putting together a leadership team, assessing what is needed and how it will be distributed state wide. Sisolak says this task force will expand the capacity of the state’s healthcare system, and will mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
