IAG NOV 2022年11月 亞博匯 79 11-25 CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Sands China Ltd 首席營運總裁兼執行董事 金沙中國 POWER SCORE 權能指數: 881 POSITION LAST YEAR 去年排名: 27 GRANT CHUM 14 CLAIMS TO FAME 名成事跡 Stocks have continually risen since joining Las Vegas Sands in 2013 Moved into gaming from investment banking 自2013年加入拉斯維加斯金沙以來，一直被寄予重望 從投資銀行轉行博彩業 鄭君諾 GRANT CHUM’S rising influence within the corporate offices of Sands China and its parent, Las Vegas Sands, has come to the fore in 2022 with the 47-year-old driving the company’s bid to win a new 10-year gaming concession under Macau’s re-tendering process. Alongside Sands China President Wilfred Wong, Chum has been tasked with overseeing the bid while also steering moves to ensure the company fulfils government requirements under the tender in the years ahead. This will inevitably include greater investment in non-gaming while keeping a close eye on capex following the 2021 opening of The Londoner Macao. Chum’s influence these days also spreads internationally, where he works closely with the team at Marina Bay Sands. If rumors are to be believed, Chum has even been considered for relocation to Singapore on a permanent basis, although any such move seems unlikely while the Macau bid process continues. Now closing in on 10 years at Sands, Chumwas poached from UBS Investment Bank in 2013 following an impressive career spent overseeing Asian gaming research. Having attracted strong interest from industry, he was originally appointed Senior Vice President for Global Gaming Strategy for LVS, then Sands China’s Chief of Staff in 2015 before being promoted to Chief Operating Officer in February 2020. LVS sold off its Las Vegas assets in 2021, but with head honchos Rob Goldstein and Patrick Dumont still based in the US, it is Chum that leads the way as the company’s man on the ground in Asia. 時至2022 ，鄭君諾在金沙中國及其母公司拉斯維加斯金沙的影響力與日 俱增。現年47歲的他正推動金沙中國重新競投澳門幸運博彩新一輪為期 十年的經營批給。 鄭君諾與金沙中國總裁王英偉負責重新競投事宜，同時將採取相關指 導措施確保公司在未來幾年內滿足政府的招標要求，其中包括無可避免地 加大對非博彩元素的投資，及密切關注澳門倫敦人自2021年開業之後的 資本支出。 近年來，鄭君諾的影響力擴展到國際上，與濱海灣金沙的團隊合作 密切。若傳聞屬實，鄭君諾可能曾被公司考慮長期派駐新加坡。然而時值 博彩經營批給競投正在如火如荼展開之中，期間不太可能發生任何此類安 排。 鄭君諾因在亞洲博彩研究方面的成就，在2013年被金沙從投行瑞銀 挖走，至今已經在金沙中國工作十年有餘。他最初出任LVS集團亞洲區全 球博彩戰略高級副總裁，2015年被任命為金沙中國的首席事務長，2020 年2月晉升為金沙中國首席營運總裁。 LVS在2021年出售了其在拉斯維加斯的資產，但由於公司負責人Rob Goldstein和Patrick Dumont仍常駐美國，因此鄭君諾成為公司在亞洲地 區的負責人，引領公司在當地的發展。
