SG, 08 Jan 2021 SINGAPORE'S property circles have been seeing several executive moves of late, involving industry veterans. Christine Li, head of research for Singapore and South-east Asia at Cushman & Wakefield (C&W), will be leaving the New York-listed real estate services firm after close to two years in that role, The Business Times (BT) has learnt. She is moving to rival firm Knight Frank, where she is set to assume the role of Asia-Pacific research head, potentially within the next couple of months, sources told BT. She has been with C&W for about six years in total. Since last April, she has also been its head of business development services for Singapore and South-east Asia.
Separately, a restructuring at OrangeTee & Tie took effect on Monday, and its top four executives took on a bigger scope of responsibilities. Steven Tan was named CEO, from managing director previously. Executive directors Simon Yio, Bill Leung and Emily Eng are now chief operating officer, chief technology officer and chief business officer respectively. OrangeTee & Tie has also promoted five key personnel to head specific functions, including Christine Sun, who is now head of research and data analytics.
