Director
Jonathan joined the board of Super Group in May 2022. Born in South Africa and raised in London, England, he moved to Las Vegas in 2007 to oversee the development of Tamares Real Estate's Las Vegas properties. With diverse real estate holdings in downtown Las Vegas, the crown jewel of Tamares’ portfolio is the Plaza Hotel & Casino. Jonathan was part of the team behind the Plaza’s first major renovation project in 2010/2011.
Jonathan took over as the CEO of the Plaza in 2014, becoming one of the youngest non-restricted gaming licensees in Las Vegas. As CEO he committed himself to rebuilding the Plaza’s brand that combines contemporary styling, modern gaming, improved guest amenities, and personal customer service for the ultimate, classic Vegas experience. Under his leadership, casino operations were revamped to be more competitive and favorable to players. He brought rodeo back to downtown Las Vegas with the opening of the Core Arena, downtown’s first and only outdoor equestrian center and multipurpose facility that can also host large-scale sporting events and entertainment attractions.
As a result of Jonathan’s leadership, the Plaza continues to experience tremendous growth and great success – often outpacing the increases achieved by the downtown market. He has successfully injected a renewed spirit and energy into a historic property that continues to evolve and improve while maintaining its place as an iconic destination in downtown Las Vegas.
Jonathan earned a Business Commerce degree from the University of Birmingham. As a business leader in and resident of downtown Las Vegas, he also takes an active role in supporting the community’s ongoing development and revitalization. He is an active member of the Fremont East Entertainment District board of directors, the Downtown Vegas Alliance and the Nevada Resort Association. He resides in downtown Las Vegas with his wife and three young children.
Jonathan’s near decade of experience in the gaming industry coupled with his insight into customer focus will be extremely valuable to Super Group’s brands and products.
