Off the back of his success across his leadership roles within the Las Vegas Sands and Sands China organisations, Goldstein was ultimately appointed as CEO. In this role, he managed each company’s global properties, offering strategic direction and guidance.
Throughout his time in this position, Goldstein was also responsible for overseeing new development opportunities as well as maximising value for shareholders.
