Wynn Senior Moving from Macau to UAE For Upcoming Integrated Resort

After an eight-year grind of climbing up the corporate ladder in Wynn’s subsidiary in Macau, Derek Sands will be taking on the role of executive vice president for the upcoming integrated resort in Ras Al Khaimah.

Experienced Asia Market President Already Moved to UAE
Derek Sands has filled one of the first positions for Wynn Resorts’ upcoming integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and was named executive vice president of the Ras Al Khaimah property. Sands has already moved to the UAE, according to his LinkedIn profile, and was president of the Asian division since 2017. However, his career story within Wynn’s Design & Development subsidiary arm, goes further back, to when Sands started as a building services director in September 2014, in Macau, and he’s been climbing the ladder ever since.

The move makes sense at first reading, as Wynn Design & Development serves as the company’s creative hub, dealing with project management, interior design and more. Being someone who’s already high within the company and with the proper experience, makes Sands a prime candidate for heading the upcoming collaboration between the parent company and local Ras Al Khaimah businesses.

Upcoming Integrated Resort – Breakthrough
And that is indeed a big project, situated on the man-made Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The “multibillion-dollar integrated resort” will be the product of collaboration between Marjan Properties – a local property developer – and RAK Hospitality Holding LLC, a hospitality group that operates hotels and other leisurely businesses, who Wynn will be teaming up with to create jobs in the area, expand tourism and grow the hospitality sector in the Emirates.
