Ng was previously PropertyGuru’s managing director for Singapore and chief business officer, and was instrumental in driving growth and fostering a customer-centric culture.

Ng said the company’s journey over the past decade was remarkable under Hari, and that he (Ng) is excited to build on this strong foundation.

“I am honoured to lead PropertyGuru into its next chapter and work alongside our talented teams to continue driving growth and delivering value to our customers across Southeast Asia,” Ng said.

Meanwhile, Mather hailed PropertyGuru’s position as a leading proptech platform, with an impressive track record of delivering value and driving growth.
