Galven Tan has resigned as CEO of Knight Frank Singapore, the property consultancy announced. Tan, who took the helm in early 2022, steps down after a tenure of about two and a half years. The company said in a brief statement that it has begun the process of finding a successor, and that Tan will assist with the transition. No reason was given for his departure, which comes during a challenging period for Singapore's property market, with rising interest rates and cooling measures affecting transaction volumes. The firm reassured clients and staff that its day-to-day operations remain unaffected. Tan's resignation was first reported by The Business Times and later confirmed by Yahoo Singapore. The move has sparked speculation among industry observers about possible internal restructuring or strategic shifts at the firm. Knight Frank's regional leadership is expected to oversee the interim management until a permanent CEO is appointed.
