Navegante was contracted by the Ogden Corporation to conduct a comprehensive operational assessment of the Iguazu Grand Hotel Resort & Casino located near Iguazu Falls on the border of Brazil and Paraguay.

The assessment, including a 13 day on site visit during October - November, focused on business strategy, casino credit, marketing, casino operations, security and surveillance, internal controls, hotel, food and beverage, finance and administration.

During the visit, the Navegante team members observed operations and evaluated all the available information and made recommendations for improvements that are being implemented today.

During this period, Navegante Search International conducted an executive search to find a candidate to provide on-site support to the acting President.  The position was filled by Navegante's candidate who has been highly productive in the gaming industry for more than 30 years as a casino executive and a senior consultant.  He is currently in place and is assisting the acting President and the Ogden Corporation in a broad gaming role.

Most recently, Navegante conducted an annual review of the properties operations.  The review consisted of a 13 day visit consisting of three Navegante representatives to follow-up on the previous review and assist the management in developing a three year business plan.  

Navegante recently assisted by providing the Ogden Corporation with candidates for the positions of President, VP Casino Operations, VP of Casino Marketing and  Director of VIP Services.  The candidates were interviewed and hired.

Navegante provides continued support to Casino Iguazu.
