About Me
David has 30 years of experience in real estate markets in Europe and Asia. David joined Colliers International’s Asia Valuation & Advisory group in Hong Kong in 1994. In this role he was responsible for directing the company’s property research activities in Greater China and as part of a regional development consultancy team for handling client assignments throughout East Asia.

Thereafter, appointed Director | Investment Advisory, David transferred to Colliers’ Singapore office in 1999 where he subsequently took the role of Director | Corporate Solutions, providing pan-Asia strategic planning and property specific real estate solutions for a wide range of clients including 3M, Reuters and Johnson & Johnson.
