This week’s job changes among Greater China’s real estate professionals centre on Hong Kong and Singapore, with the mainland seeming to take a holiday from taking on new roles. In Singapore we have one shed specialist changing companies after 20 years, and a fund manager moving up the ranks, while in Hong Kong, the brokers are hard at work at getting ahead. Read on for all the details.
Brenda Ong has joined CBRE in Singapore as Executive Director of Industrial Services. Ong moved to CBRE from Colliers in the same city, where she had also served as an executive director with the industrial team at the rival agency. Ong left Colliers after more than 20 years with the firm, roughly at the same time that Dennis Yeo, the former managing director for Colliers in Singapore and the company’s regional head of industrial, took on the role of regional head of industrial with CBRE.
Nguyen Do Nhu Phuong (Kathryn) is now an Associate in the fund management division with LaSalle Investment Management in Singapore.
