在 APREA 的真實資產、真實人員, 我們與一位在實體資產產業中具有影響力的領導者對話，深入瞭解他們的成功經驗和策略。.
以下是 David Tibbott, Managing Director of IOI Properties Singapore.
在您開始房地產/基礎建設事業之前，您是做什麼的？
I was a professional rugby player in the UK and studying at the University of Cambridge at the same time. It was a challenge balancing academics and athletic commitments, but that didn’t stop me from graduating with a Master’s degree in Real Estate Finance.
Who inspired you to pursue a career in the real assets industry?
My father. He owned a real estate consultancy firm that provided advice to businesses on large scale developments and tourism initiatives across Europe. It was an obvious decision to transition from professional sport into the dynamic landscape of real estate.
你的一天通常是怎麼安排的？
My day varies significantly, interacting with my leasing team, the marketing agency community and both prospect and committed tenants. I’ll also work with our property management team as we have been commissioning the building for public and tenant use, as well as handing over to tenants to commence fitout. There are also other HR and corporate interactions on a daily basis, as well as exploring opportunities for the business as and when they arise.
你平常喜歡做什麼來消遣？
Anything sports related since it has been a huge part of my life. Skiing, cycling, tennis and swimming are my go-to activities these days since I’m too old for contact sports like rugby. I have a young family now, so my wife and I try to engage our kids with sport as much as possible.
您能與APREA的其他成員分享哪些經驗或建議？
I have been fortunate enough to gain a breadth of experience and insight across a variety of companies throughout Asia (Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Singapore, Jakarta & Hanoi). They are all very culturally different but making the effort to develop and maintain good personal relationships is one key advice I could give. The world of real estate is small and it is a people business.
