Las Vegas Sands is set to announce a change in leadership beginning March 1, 2026, with Patrick Dumont stepping into the roles of chairman and chief executive officer. This transition comes after earlier confirmations from the company’s board regarding his succession of Robert G. Goldstein.

Goldstein will take on a senior advisory role and continue with the organization until March 2028. Dumont will also oversee Sands China Ltd. as chairman, the company’s Hong Kong-listed subsidiary.

With a tenure at Sands since 2010, Dumont has been the president and chief operating officer since January 2021 and has been a member of the board of directors since 2017. His 25-plus years of experience encompasses various fields, including management, development, operations, and corporate finance. His contributions have notably included managing capital allocation, property operations, and long-term growth strategies.

Under his leadership, the company has launched numerous development projects in recent years. This includes major investments in Macao and Singapore, highlighted by an $8 billion ultra-luxury development in Singapore that commenced construction in July 2025. Sands operates key integrated resorts in Macao, such as The Venetian Macao, the Parisian, and the Londoner, alongside owning Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

“I am truly honored to take on the roles of chairman and CEO of this iconic institution established by one of the industry’s most illustrious visionaries,” Dumont expressed. “With the guidance of Sheldon Adelson and Rob Goldstein, Sands has achieved remarkable success, and I look forward to continuing this legacy in the upcoming years. I am optimistic about our company’s future and eager to embark on this new journey.”

Regarding the company’s next phase, he outlined: “We are fortunate to possess the premier assets in the most favorable markets within our sector. Our core leadership team is well-established, and we are committed to optimizing ongoing investments in our properties, workforce, and surrounding communities.”

“With over 41,000 dedicated team members and our focus on delivering unmatched experiences for discerning leisure and business guests, we aim to generate a positive economic impact for our host regions while providing robust returns for our shareholders.”

Dumont earned his MBA from Columbia Business School and a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Johns Hopkins University. Outside of his responsibilities at Sands, he sits on the National Basketball Association board of governors representing the Dallas Mavericks, which the Adelson family predominantly owns. In November, he joined the board of directors of LA28, the organizing committee for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
