Rodney Ferguson
The Pamunkey Indian Tribal Gaming Authority, a non-corporate entity owned by the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, announced Thursday that Rodney Ferguson has been hired as executive vice president of gaming and resort operations, effective April 12. He also will serve in a senior leadership role at the tribe’s forthcoming Norfolk casino resort.
Ferguson was most recently CEO and general manager of the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has worked in commercial and Native gaming resorts for more than 30 years, according to the tribe’s news release. His hiring marks a return to Virginia, where he received a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Virginia State University. Ferguson also is a member of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants.
“I am honored the tribe has put their trust in me to bring their vision of a premier destination resort and casino to an area I know well,” Ferguson said in a statement. “It feels great to return home to Virginia and Hampton Roads.”
