PROPERTYGURU has appointed industry veteran Tan Tee Khoon as country manager for Singapore.
Dr Tan left Knight Frank Singapore in June, where he was a key executive officer (KEO) of agency arm KF Property Network and head of residential project marketing.
He held that post for over seven years, heading residential project marketing since September 2013, except for the period between April 2015 and June 2017.
Dr Tan was one of the three key residential division executives from project marketing who left Knight Frank in May and June, the other two being director of residential project marketing Alice Tan and head of sales for residential project marketing Edison Ong.
Dr Tan will be a member of PropertyGuru's executive leadership team, lead sales for Singapore and oversee a team of 50. He will report to Jeremy Williams, the group's chief business officer, the real estate portal said on Tuesday.
Prior to joining Knight Frank, Dr Tan was the chief executive officer of Singapore Accredited Estate Agencies, which was the property industry's accreditation body prior to the inception of the Council for Estate Agencies.
"Having spent my career in the agency business, I believe in the power of data-driven decision making. Data is the currency for success in property," Dr Tan said.
Having worked closely with PropertyGuru in the past, he added that "the group's focus to bring technology adoption for agency and developer business is something I am looking forward to working together on".
