He’s a well known, well-connected and successful media industry and sales veteran - making him the ideal candidate for the role. We’ve had a record-breaking first half, and with Raymond’s experience, I’m confident we’ll continue this growth trajectory and remain the dominant player,” said Steve Melhuish, CEO and Co-Founder of PropertyGuru.com.sg.
