Changes in Exec Responsibilities at Singapore’s MBS

Marina Bay Sands announced last month that it has made changes to its executive leadership team. Managing Director George Tanasijevich will focus on local and international expansion, while Andrew MacDonald and Paul Town will oversee most day-to-day operations.

According to Bloomberg, the changes were made earlier this year but not announced publicly. Tanasijevich will concentrate on new development opportunities for Las Vegas Sands in the region in his role as the parent company’s managing director of global development.

He remains involved in MBS’ legal and compliance and government-related matters, as well as the ongoing US$3.3 billion expansion of the Singapore IR.

MacDonald, MBS’ corporate senior vice president and chief casino officer, will now be in charge of all gaming operations. Paul Town, who joined the company in November 2019, will be responsible for all non-gaming operations in his role as senior vice president of resort operations.

Together the pair hold “joint responsibility for the day-to-day operational and administrative functions of Marina Bay Sands,” the company said. It said the changes will help to “enable the future success of the property and maximize our new development opportunity in Singapore.”
