## Original article

Galven Tan has resigned as CEO of Knight Frank Singapore to pursue new opportunities, the firm announced on July 28.

"We thank Galven for his contributions to the business over the past two and a half years and wish him well," Knight Frank said in the release.

Deputy CEO and head of valuation & advisory Low Kin Hon has taken over day-to-day leadership of the Singapore business as interim CEO, effective immediately. Craig Shute, CEO of Knight Frank Asia-Pacific since April 1, 2025, will provide oversight "to ensure continuity for our people and clients".

The leadership change comes amid a broader shake-up at Knight Frank Singapore since Knight Frank Asia-Pacific bought out the remaining 55% stake in the business in October 2025. The regional arm paid former stakeholder AF Global $36.89 million for the stake, giving it full ownership of the Singapore business.

Just a day earlier, on July 27, Knight Frank said it would exit Singapore's property agency business and wind down KF Property Network by the end of 2026, as Knight Frank looks to sharpen its focus on capital markets, occupier strategy and property management. It also wants to focus on closer regional integration, according to the announcement.

Tan joined Knight Frank Singapore in February 2024. He was previously deputy managing director of investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, which he joined in November 2019 alongside Jeremy Lake, the former CBRE Singapore head of investment. Before that, Tan spent 15 years at CBRE, rising to executive director of investment and working closely with Lake.

Tan declined to comment when contacted by EdgeProp Singapore.

此次领导层变动，正值莱坊新加坡自莱坊亚太区于2025年10月收购该业务余下55%股权以来更广泛调整之际。该区域业务以3689万美元向前股东AF Global购入该股权，从而全资拥有新加坡业务。

就在前一天，即7月27日，莱坊表示将退出新加坡房产中介业务，并于2026年底前结束KF Property Network，以更聚焦资本市场、租户策略与物业管理。根据公告，公司亦希望加强区域整合。

陈加文于2024年2月加入莱坊新加坡。他此前为第一太平戴维斯新加坡（Savills Singapore）投资销售及资本市场副董事总经理，于2019年11月与前世邦魏理仕新加坡投资主管Jeremy Lake一同加入。在此之前，陈加文在世邦魏理仕（CBRE）任职15年，晋升至投资执行董事，并与Lake紧密合作。
