- Previously served as Seek’s managing director for both Singapore & Malaysia
- Brings a strong track record in marketplace growth, digital innovation & customer experience
PropertyGuru Group, Southeast Asia’s leading property technology (proptech) company, has announced the appointment of Vic Sithasanan (pic) as managing director for Malaysia, effective immediately.
In his new role, Vic will lead the growth of the group’s Malaysia marketplace business — encompassing PropertyGuru and iProperty — and drive strategies to strengthen customer value, consumer experience, and market leadership. He joins the group’s executive leadership team and will report to group CEO, Lewis Ng.
Vic’s appointment marks a key milestone in PropertyGuru’s leadership transformation to strengthen country-level ownership and agility. The evolved role reflects the company’s shift from country managers to managing directors across key markets to drive greater impact at the local level.
With more than two decades of leadership experience, Vic brings a strong track record in marketplace growth, digital innovation, and customer experience. He joins PropertyGuru from Seek, where he most recently served as managing director for Singapore and previously as managing director for Malaysia. During his tenure, he oversaw significant business growth and led major digital and commercial transformations across both markets.
Prior to Seek, Vic co-founded Hyperlab, an AI company that automated customer conversations for major brands. Following its acquisition in 2018, he served as chief growth officer, leading its international expansion into the United States, Japan, and other key markets.
PropertyGuru also announced that Kenneth Soh, currently serving as country manager for Malaysia, will depart the group at the end of December 2025. Under Soh’s leadership, PropertyGuru Malaysia achieved several major milestones, including the launch of the Verified Badge — a public trust initiative to curb property scams — and the ongoing integration of PropertyGuru and iProperty Malaysia.
Lewis Ng said, “I am delighted to welcome Vic to PropertyGuru as our new managing director for Malaysia. His strong track record in driving growth, building high-performing teams, and delivering customer-centric innovations makes him an excellent leader to take our Malaysia business into its next phase.
“On behalf of the group, I would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Soh for his dedication and contributions over the years. His leadership has been central to many of our successes in Malaysia and has supported the growth of our business there. We wish him every success in his next chapter.”
Vic said, “Malaysia’s property landscape is evolving rapidly, and I’m excited to lead PropertyGuru and iProperty into this next chapter of growth. Together, we will continue to innovate, enhance transparency, and build greater trust across the ecosystem — empowering Malaysians to make confident property decisions while supporting our partners in a more digital and connected market.”
