Not every financial story starts with a bull market — but that’s exactly where Sarah Rogers, SVP of Corporate Finance for MGM Resorts International, found her footing.
From Wall Street to the Las Vegas Strip, Sarah now helps steer one of the world’s largest hospitality companies through billion-dollar deals, market shifts, and global expansion.
In our conversation, Sarah opened up about:
💰 How MGM Resorts allocates capital to drive returns — from AI-powered efficiencies to building the Mayfair Supper Club.
🏦 Why the company bought back nearly half its market cap in just five years.
🌏 The financial strategy behind MGM’s Osaka integrated resort, Japan’s first and only IR.
📉 How today’s volatile market still offers opportunity for operators who think long-term.
💡 And her advice to young professionals: get comfortable being uncomfortable — that’s where real growth happens.
Hospitality isn’t just about rooms and restaurants — it’s about vision, timing, and creating value that lasts.
