Joshua brings over 20 years of finance, strategy and real estate experience to OKAY.com. His focus is on building disruptive, scalable operations that empower Hong Kong real estate professionals to better serve their clients.
As President of OKAY.com, Joshua works closely with the CEO in setting the direction of the Company and implementing strategies to continually improve both the agent and client experience.
"I start every day thinking about how we can serve our clients better in an ever-changing world. We've built OKAY.com to empower agents with more information, raising the standards of professionalism and attracting the best agents in the industry. Our proprietary software platform gives our agents flexibility and the ability to respond faster to clients.
