PLAINS TWP. — With more than two decades in the casino industry, most recently as vice president of finance at Hollywood Casino in Baton Rouge, La., Bradford Cobb has joined the executive team at Mohegan Sun Pocono in Plains Township as its new chief financial officer.
As CFO, Cobb will oversee the financial accounting, regulatory compliance, labor and productivity departments, plus budgets, analysis and much more.
