Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) has named Patrick Dumont as its new chairman and chief executive officer, effective March 1, 2026. The appointment follows the announcement made on February 13, 2026, and will replace Robert G. Goldstein, who will transition to a senior‑advisor role through March 2028.
Dumont, who has served as president and chief operating officer since January 2021 and has been a board member since 2017, will also take on the chairmanship of Sands China Ltd. His decade‑long tenure at the company, beginning in 2010, has seen him lead the $8 billion ultra‑luxury expansion in Singapore that broke ground in July 2025 and oversee the company’s turnaround and capital‑allocation plans across Macau, Singapore and other markets.
The new leadership signals a continuation of the strategic focus that has driven the company’s recent recovery. In Macau, the company is working to restore margins after a period of compression, while in Singapore Marina Bay Sands has delivered record EBITDA in the latest quarter. Dumont’s experience in both markets positions him to accelerate the reinvestment strategy in Macau and to expand the Singapore portfolio, where the $8 billion project is expected to add significant premium‑gaming and hospitality capacity.
"It is a true honor for me to serve as chairman and CEO of this iconic company founded by one of the industry’s greatest visionaries," Dumont said. "Under the leadership of Sheldon Adelson and Rob Goldstein, Sands has reached tremendous heights, and I welcome the opportunity to build on that legacy in the years ahead." Goldstein added, "We remain enthusiastic about our opportunities to deliver growth in both Singapore and Macao, as we realize the benefits of our market‑leading capital investment programs."
The appointment underscores the Adelson family’s continued influence, as Dr. Miriam Adelson’s family holds more than 50% of the company’s voting power. It also reflects the board’s confidence in a smooth succession plan that balances continuity with fresh strategic focus. Investors will watch how Dumont’s stewardship shapes the company’s execution of its Macau reinvestment strategy, Singapore expansion, and shareholder‑return initiatives moving forward.
