Caesars Windsor welcomes new Senior Vice President and General Manager

A few weeks after Kevin Laforet announced his retirement as President and CEO of Caesars Windsor in March, the casino named his replacement.

Jody Brown has been appointed the Senior Vice President and General Manager. He starts in January.

Brown, a life-long Windsorite, previously held the position of Senior Director of Finance at Caesars Windsor. He has worked for Caesars Entertainment on both sides of the border for the past 14 years. Most recently, he was the Assistant General Manager at Caesars New Orleans, where he helped rebrand the property with a $435-million capital investment.

"My initial priorities include integrating Caesars Windsor into the Caesars empire, and as one of the largest employers, ensuring Caesars Windsor's positive community impact continues to move forward," said Brown.
