I'm not sure how to understand "事業者の幹部" in this sentence

事業者 implies an executive position so I don't understand the role of の幹部?




「事業者{じぎょうしゃ}」 can mean a "business", "company", etc. as well as a
"businessman". Its usage for the first meaning is actually very common in the
real Japanese-speaking world.

Thus, 「カジノ事業者の幹部{かんぶ}」 is a perfectly natural and grammatical phrase meaning
the "casino company executive(s)".

It seems you probably took the kanji 「者」 too literally.
