My Team
Greg has over 15 years in providing hospitality, commercial and residential property valuation and advisory services across three international regions, and is a member of RICS and Associate of the Australian Property Institute.
After completing his Bachelor of Business (Property) studies and initial professional valuation training in Melbourne, Greg moved to London in 2004.
After eight years of reporting valuations and assisting with asset management initiatives across the entire UK market to a range of instritutional-grade clients, he sought to continue his career development in South East Asia by moving to Bangkok in 2012.
During his time with Knight Frank Thailand, Greg became a senior member of the largest internationally-branded valuation firm in the country, and intrinsically involved in client relationship reporting and management to a variety of clients from the hospitality, banking, corporate and private sectors.
With his extensive involvement in the valuation and advisory of regional hospitality-led assets, Greg joined Savills in 2018 to focus his advisory and business development skills on the entire South East Asia hospitality market. As the Head of Hotel Valuations for the region, Greg continued to complete assignments in Thailand and Vietnam, together with wider market-leading destinations such as the South Pacific and the Marianas Islands.
Despite an unprecedented change in the global marketplace as a result of the pandemic, Greg relocated to Singapore in late-2020 and through his appointment at Colliers will strive to continue to provide his extensive expertise for the benefit of a broad and prudent client base.
