CUSHMAN & Wakefield (C&W) has appointed Natalie Craig as its Singapore chief executive, effective Apr 1, 2024.
In the newly created role, Craig will oversee a team of more than 2,000 staff from C&W’s commercial real estate business and its sister entity, C&W Services, which offers facilities management and engineering solutions.
The real estate services firm said on Thursday (Mar 28) that the appointment “reflects clients’ changing buying behaviour and marks the next phase of the firm’s growth”.
Craig is currently the managing director of C&W Services in Singapore, a role she has held since 2020. The business arm has a portfolio of 100 million square feet under management.
Prior to this role, she held leadership positions at CBRE, Macquarie Bank and Minter Ellison. Her experience includes over 20 years in commercial real estate, C&W said.
C&W Asia-Pacific chief executive Matthew Bouw noted Craig’s track record in growing C&W’s facilities management business with clients such as JTC.
“Singapore is a key market for our business in Asia-Pacific, being one (of) the largest and most sophisticated financial centres in the region, hosting more than 4,200 company headquarters, as well as being the gateway to Asean – one of the fastest-growing regions in the world,” he said.
