Johnson’s gaming and hospitality career spans more than 25 years, and she joined MGM Resorts International in 2015. “I was able to witness many of our resort’s successes during my previous three and a half years there, and I’m looking forward to working with the team towards many more in the years to come.” “I am thrilled to be back in Maryland where I look forward to re-engaging with our employees and reconnecting with the Prince George’s County community,” Johnson said in a statement.

In that role, she became the first Black woman to run a casino in the state’s premier gaming city.

Johnson previously led the Prince George’s County, Md.-based resort and casino from December 2017 through May 2020 before spending a year and a half as president and COO of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, an MGM Resorts International property in Atlantic City, N.J.
