KUALA LUMPUR: Knight Frank Malaysia has announced the promotion of Keith HY Ooi to group managing director effective January 2023 as part of the real estate consultancy’s succession plan and in line with its growth strategy.

In a statement today, the company said Ooi plans to elevate the premier real estate brand with his personal mantra of 4Es - to empower, engage, embrace and expand.

Knight Frank Malaysia said that his strategy includes empowering the people at Knight Frank Malaysia to make a difference within the company, engaging stakeholders to improve service, embracing change and digital adoption, as well as expanding the company’s presence to other states in Malaysia.
