PropertyGuru Group has named Lewis Ng as its new CEO, effective in March.

“I am thrilled to return to PropertyGuru,” Ng said. “I am honoured to lead PropertyGuru in its next chapter and work alongside our talented teams.”

Ng has held leadership roles at global brands like Apple, TripAdvisor, and Southeast Asia’s unicorns Carousell and PropertyGuru.

For nearly six years at PropertyGuru (2014-2019), he served as Managing Director of Singapore and Chief Business Officer for the group. Ng also serves as a board director at Zhaopin, an employment marketplace in China.

“I have decided that the time is right for me to pursue new interests and for the company to transition to new leadership,” said Hari V. Krishnan, CEO of PropertyGuru Group. “I am confident he [Ng] will bring a fresh perspective to our organisation whilst staying deeply aligned with our vision and values.”

Krishnan, who will be stepping down from his role as CEO, will continue to be closely involved with PropertyGuru as Senior Advisor to the Board.

In addition, the group has also announced the appointment of a new Board of Directors.

Trevor Mather has assumed the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, having previously served as CEO of Auto Trader. He is currently the Chairman of Baltic Classifieds Group.

Moreover, PropertyGuru's Board of Directors includes Janice Leow, a partner in the EQT Private Capital Asia advisory team and head of EQT Private Capital Southeast Asia, and Ed Williams, founder and ex-CEO of Rightmove, Chairman of Trade Me in New Zealand, and ex-Chairman of Auto Trader.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
