Las Vegas Sands names Adelson’s son-in-law as new finance chief

Casino operator Las Vegas Sands has officially named its new chief financial officer, and it’s none other than Sheldon Adelson’s son-in-law.

In a statement, the casino magnate announced he has formally appointed Patrick Dumont as the company’s financial leader—a position the 41-year-old executive “has already been performing.”

“Patrick has been providing strong leadership to the financial function and handling the principal duties of the CFO role very effectively for some time,” Adelson said in a company release.

Dumont fills a vacancy that has been left open since 2013, when Kenneth Kay stepped down from his then role as Sands’ finance chief. Kay was appointed as MGM Holdings Inc. chief financial officer last year, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
