Stanford Le has stepped down from his position as CEO of Crown Sydney, following a change in his personal circumstances. 

Le wrote on social media: “As I step down from my role in Australia to return to the US to care for family, I can’t help but feel immensely proud and thankful for my team at Crown Sydney. 

“We accomplished so much over the past 18 months - bringing an iconic property to profitability for the first time in its five-year history, stretching the limits of culinary awards, setting significant new milestones in gaming and hotel, and more than anything else, redefining what is possible for this beautiful Sydney landmark. 

“I owe so much gratitude to my wonderful colleagues. I will never forget the unique phrases, heartfelt laughter, love of sport, and the passion you showed day in and day out.

“Until we meet again, Stanford.”

Le was appointed CEO in November 2024, where he oversaw all operations of the business. 

Within his first year at the property, he achieved its first fiscal year of profitability and increased revenue by over 22%. 

He was also instrumental in implementing the final anti-money laundering (AML) measures required for the property to complete remediation. 

Prior to joining Crown Sydney, Le was the CEO and President of Snoqualmie Casino for just under five years. 

Le has also worked with Wynn Resorts as the SVP of Strategic Marketing, with Sands China as VP of Loyalty Marketing, with Caesars as VP of Marketing and Hotel Operations and with Golden Nugget Atlantic City as VP of Marketing.

Le joined the gambling industry in May 2006, almost exactly 20 years ago
