SINGAPORE--Casino operator Genting Singapore PLC (G13.SG) has hired an executive from rival Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) to join the compliance department at its Resorts World Sentosa casino resort, a person familiar with the situation said Friday.

Robin Thompson, former executive director for compliance at Las Vegas Sands' Singapore casino resort, Marina Bay Sands, has been appointed vice president of compliance at Resorts World Sentosa, the person said.

Mr. Thompson left Marina Bay Sands late in June, and a replacement will take over his role starting next month, according to another person familiar with the move.

Efforts to reach Mr. Thompson were unsuccessful. A Marina Bay Sands spokeswoman declined to comment.
