The Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise has appointed Daniele Chilton as the new CEO of the Desert Diamond Casinos. Her appointment to the position is effective Feb. 21, 2025.
Daniele will be the first Tohono O’odham Nation tribal member to serve as CEO of the Enterprise in a permanent capacity.

“It is an honor to be selected to lead this incredible organization. As a tribal member and long-time team member, I am committed to our mission of creating greater economic opportunity for the Tohono O’odham Nation and providing top-tier experiences for our guests,” Daniele Chilton, incoming CEO of the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, said.
