Kiran Patel, who has been acting CEO since mid-2018, will continue in his role as chief investment officer and will become deputy CEO following Jeffrey’s arrival.
“That Jeffrey will be based in Singapore is a clear demonstration of the importance we attach to Savills’ future growth potential in the Asia Pacific region, linked to our strong UK and European platform,” says Mark Ridley, CEO at Savills PLC.
