With 28 years of experience pioneering real estate services across Asia, Stephen has built a distinguished career in brokerage, tenant and buyer representation, senior global property services management, and capital markets and investment services. Having lived and worked in Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, he brings deep expertise in navigating multi-cultural, bilingual, and complex business environments.

Under his leadership, Stephen grew a commercial real estate network from a single Asia Pacific office in 1999 to 45 offices across 14 countries by 2012 – an expansion representing an annual growth rate of nearly 38 percent. In challenging markets, he closed a $90 million land sale for a new residential community and a $22.8 million land purchase for a religious temple development in Jakarta during 2023. Specializing in capital markets, investments, office, retail, industrial, hospitality, branded residences, and landed housing, Stephen is recognized as a senior commercial brokerage leader with a proven ability to deliver results and drive growth.
