KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 1): Lagenda Properties Bhd (KL:LAGENDA) is starting the year with a new chief executive with the promotion of 35-year-old Jasrinderjit Singh.

Jasrinderjit, formerly the company’s head of investments, strategy and corporate relations, will support the executive leadership and the board of directors in his new role, Lagenda said in an exchange filing. 

“As the designated incoming chief executive officer, Jasrinderjit is actively involved in the group’s strategic direction, operational oversight, and long-term planning,” Lagenda said. 

Trained as a lawyer at the University of the West of England in the UK, Jasrinderjit began his career at Wong & Partners, where he advised on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, joint ventures and corporate restructurings. 

He later transitioned into corporate finance at boutique advisory firm Quantephi Sdn Bhd.

Jasrinderjit joined Lagenda in 2018, and the company has since recognised “his disciplined, execution-focused leadership style and his ability to integrate legal, financial, and commercial perspectives to drive sustainable growth, strengthen corporate governance, and enhance long-term shareholder value”.
