Her primary focus at the moment is business development and commercial leasing where she will work as a direct liaison between Korean office and retail occupiers and Savills leasing services and commercial property landlords.

According to Matthew Powell, director of Savills Hanoi, Korean clients and enterprises are playing an increasingly significant role in Vietnam property market.
