Teo will be based in Singapore. He will become a member of the Executive Leadership team of ESR as well as participate in major business decision-making processes and regional strategy development within the company.

Singapore Operations Under His Leadership

Prior to this, he has held the post of Chief Executive Officer at SB Asset & Investment Management. He also previously led SB REIT Management as CEO. During his time there, he oversaw Soilbuild Business Space REIT through a period of growth, regional expansion and privatisation.

Earlier in his career, Teo held senior investment and logistics portfolio positions at Ascendas Fund Management. These roles gave him experience across different areas of property investment and portfolio management.

His appointment comes with responsibility for ESR's wider Southeast Asian operations. The group will have him overseeing its regional business while maintaining a focus on Singapore.

Teo is scheduled to take up the position in January 2027.
