Sands China Appoints President and Chief Operating Officer

Sands China has appointed Wilfred Wong, GBS, JP, as President and Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Wong's appointment is effective 1 November 2015. He will replace Rob Goldstein (current President and COO of Las Vegas Sands), who has been serving as Sands China's interim president since earlier this year.

Mr. Wong is joining Sands China after having served in a variety of senior business roles, including most recently as chairman and chief executive officer of the Hong Kong listed Hsin Chong Construction Group Ltd.

Mr. Wong has also held top management positions in a number of other Hong Kong listed companies in the property development and construction business sectors, including K. Wah International Holdings Limited, Henderson China Holdings Limited and the Shui On Group.

Additionally, Mr. Wong has had a distinguished career in the public sector, where he served in various different levels of the Hong Kong government. Mr. Wong also served in many positions appointed by the Central People's Government: as a member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Consultative Committee; member of the Preliminary Working Committee and subsequently the Preparatory Committee responsible for establishing the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Mr Wong was also elected a member of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China for 15 years from 1997 to 2012.

"Wilfred has a unique combination of private and public sector experience we think will be invaluable to the company at this point in our history. We've been a part of the Macau community for more than a decade and our needs, along with our responsibilities to the people of Macau, have changed dramatically since we opened the Sands Macau in 2004. As president of Sands China, Wilfred will be able to put his experience to work helping us chart a path for our next decade of success in Macau," said Sheldon G. Adelson, the chairman of both SCL and LVS.
