The Next Work Experience

I lead Workplace Advisory Asia as part of Corporate Solutions in APAC. My focus is to form key strategic objectives together with Occupier Services, enhancing the company’s proposition in providing holistic workplace solutions to clients in conjunction with Offices Services, Project Management and Corporate Solutions teams. We are currently operating from 3 locations: Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore.

With my professional background as a qualified architect, I bring across more than 18 years of experience working in commercial design across Hong Kong, Australia and the UK. During my professional career I have worked with distinguished international design firms such as HOK and Ronald Lu & Partners. Previously I held a paralle role at CBRE where I was Associate Director of the Workplace team, servicing and advising the likes of HSBC, AXA, Bayer, Cisco and Citibank as a workplace consultant and change manager.

I will be driving Workplace initiatives delivering effective, flexible and high performance user environments. My specialist experience in design, workplace strategy and organisational change management will further help our client enterprises in developing solutions, aligning business goals with workplace strategy and optimising their employee performance.

I report to Abhishek  Bajpai, Managing Director Corporate Solutions APAC. I will take an active role in the Global Workplace team to solidify and extend Colliers’ Workplace Strategy service offerings in Asia.
