“Real estate plays a major role in shaping the experiences of communities and of its people. I believe it starts with purposeful inclusivity and diversity in a meaningful and lasting way within our industry.

I admire the work ULI Singapore and WLI Singapore have done in promoting the advancement and visibility of women leaders in real estate and supporting the development of young women members as leaders. I am honoured to be given the opportunity to co-lead this important cause together with Wei Leng and our fellow members of the WLI Singapore Executive Committee.”

Zheng Wanshi, Group Chief Strategy & Planning Officer of Frasers Property Limited

“I am really excited with this leadership opportunity.  Having three daughters that are coming of age, I feel an even stronger connection to young women and a conviction to create an environment that will promote and advance the development of women.  I would like to reach out to more women in real estate, listen to them and help them achieve their goals.”
