Savills appoints managing director of industrial and commercial leasing services

SAVILLS Singapore on Monday (Apr 11) announced the appointment of Sally Tan as managing director of its industrial and commercial leasing services. The move is part of the firm's strategic vision to grow its sales and leasing capabilities in the industrial market and elevate its service offering to occupiers in the office sector.

Tan will be part of the senior leadership team and report to Marcus Loo, Savills Singapore's chief executive.

Loo said Tan is a dynamic captain of the industry and that her breadth of experience dealing with property owners and end users across multiple asset classes will add depth to Savills' service offering.

Tan will primarily be involved in building a strong industrial platform, while providing strategic oversight to the firm's existing commercial leasing team headed by Ashley Swan, who will continue leading the team.

Tan has more than 25 years of experience in real estate investment and built environment development in Singapore and regional markets. Her expertise is in business strategy, building operations, marketing and leasing across the commercial, business park, industrial and logistics sectors. She has deep knowledge of the evolving occupational needs of multinational corporations, small and medium enterprises, new economy industries, and food and beverage operators.

Prior to this appointment, Tan was senior vice-president, head of workspace management at CapitaLand overseeing more than 120 developments in various asset classes. She was previously deputy chief customer solutions officer at Ascendas-Singbridge, held various positions at Keppel Land and was in a developmental role at JTC.

"I'm thrilled to join Savills to lead the industrial and commercial businesses as the future of the workplace transforms with the post-pandemic possibilities," said Tan. "In this new role, I look forward to building new capabilities of the team to create solutions and unlock value for our stakeholders and clients."
