Singapore’s real estate market is estimated to reach USD 46.58 billion this year, with a further CAGR of 6.57% by 2029. Being in the industry for over two decades, it is heartening to have seen this growth driven by both my female and male counterparts, despite it being a traditionally male-dominated industry. It is even more inspiring to note how many more women have since been part of this booming sector, playing an equally pivotal role in this growth.
As the Chief Commercial Officer of Coliwoo, a pioneer in Singapore’s co-living sector, my journey in the real estate and property management industry has been both fulfilling and transformative.
Inclusivity in the workplace begins with implementing diverse hiring and progression practices, especially in a male-dominated industry like real estate.

We also foster a supportive work environment by conducting regular check-ins with team members to find out if they are facing any challenges, and if so, determine ways to address and integrate solutions with the wider team.
