Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) announced the appointment of Natalie Craig as Singapore CEO, effective April 1. It is said to be a newly created position for the firm.

According to C&W, the appointment reflects clients' changing buying behaviour and marks the next phase of the firm's growth. Craig will oversee over 2,000 staff from C&W's commercial real estate business, based at CapitaSpring in the CBD, and sister company C&W Services, based at Chai Chee.

"Singapore is a key market for our business in Asia Pacific," says Matthew Bouw, CEO of C&W Asia Pacific. "It is one of the largest and most sophisticated financial centres in the region, hosting more than 4,200 company headquarters, as well as being the gateway to ASEAN—one of the fastest growing regions in the world."
