SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. Chief Executive Officer Serge Rivera resigned effective immediately, leaving his position after only five months as the already-troubled theme-park operator contends with the coronavirus crisis.
Marc Swanson, the chief financial officer, will serve as interim CEO, SeaWorld said Monday. Swanson was also interim CEO before Rivera’s appointment in November. Elizabeth Castro Gulacsy, the chief accounting officer, will be interim CFO.
