Baha Mar names general counsel

The $3.5 billion Baha Mar project yesterday said Whitney Thier had been named its executive vice-president and general counsel with immediate effect.

Ms Thier, who will report to Tom Dunlap, Baha Mar’s president, will lead the resort developer’s legal team and assume a key role on the company’s executive committee.

She succeeds Uri Clinton, who joined Baha Mar in 2011 and has chosen to relocate with his family back to Las Vegas.

Ms Thier joins the company as Baha Mar completes its construction phase and readies for its anticipated grand opening in Spring 2015.

Ms Thier’s previous roles include stints as executive vice-president, legal and government affairs of CG Technologies, and as general counsel of Fontainebleau Resorts.

These jobs have given her experience in regulatory law, management agreements, gaming technologies, intellectual property, capital financing structures, human resources and resort operations in the US and internationally.

Ms Thier holds a Juris Doctor degree from Tulane Law School, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College. She will be relocating with her family to Nassau.
