We are excited to introduce this quarter’s Influencers.

Emma Botting Associate Director, APAC

Location: Singapore

Years with the company: Five

Notable industry achievement: I’m proud to have been part of the award-winning London Occupier Team, which gave me great exposure to interesting clients and exciting high- profile projects. I am also proud to have implemented the successful “Young Clients Series,” which has increased our exposure to the rising stars amongst our clients through a series of formal and informal events. Highlights have included informative and insightful breakfast briefings on how technology is disrupting the retail, residential, and office sectors, how Brexit is affecting investment across the different UK sectors, as well as some fun evenings enjoying a wine tasting session and an open-air cinema. What hobbies do you enjoy in your personal time? I love being outdoors and, luckily, south-east Asia provides me with year-round sunshine to hike, swim, and (attempt to) surf. I’ve recently learned to scuba dive, so I spend most weekends traveling the region in search of turtles, barracudas, and other incredible marine wildlife. I’m also a keen runner, and in a moment of madness, I just signed up for the Singapore marathon. What would people be surprised to learn about you? I’m a volunteer member of Girl Guiding, which has taken me on some exciting trips to Madagascar, Iceland, and Switzerland, as well as a trip to St. James’ Palace where I was presented the “Queen’s Guide Award” by the Countess of Wessex. Girl Guiding Singapore is, similarly to Cushman & Wakefield, celebrating its centenary this year, and I’m looking forward to volunteering at the centenary camp in the Singapore Botanic Gardens later this year!
