Leong Gone

Melina Leong, chief operating officer of Cotai Water Jet, a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd., has resigned from the company, where she has worked for the past 10 years.

Melina Leong, chief operating officer at Cotai Water Jet, a unit of Sands China, has resigned to dedicate more time to her family, according to a report in the Macau Daily Times.

“Having worked for 30 years and with 10 years at Sands, I definitely had spent more time at the company and with my colleagues than I spent at home and with my family. In order to have the luxury of time to do the things I need to do or want to do, after much consideration, I have decided to leave the company,” she said.

Leong previously led the public relations department at SCL, and more recently was senior vice president for public relations and community affairs.

“It is not an easy decision,” Leong said of her decision to resign. “I went through an unforgettable and dynamic 10 years with Sands and am proud to be part of a very professional team.”
