Based in Singapore, Leon leads strategic advisory and transaction execution for data centre operators, investors and hyperscale clients across Asia Pacific. Reporting to Andrew Green, Head of Data Centre Group, Asia Pacific, he works closely with regional and global teams to support capital deployment, platform expansion and strategic partnerships as data centre demand continues to accelerate across the region.
In his role, Leon will deliver advisory‑led solutions across acquisitions, divestments, portfolio strategies and partnerships within the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem.
Andrew said, “The data centre sector is evolving at unprecedented speed, driven by cloud adoption,
AI and digitalisation across Asia Pacific. Leon’s appointment reflects the growing importance of combining advisory excellence with real-world operator experience. His deep understanding of
capital markets, development strategies and operational realities uniquely positions us to help
clients make confident, future‑ready decisions in an increasingly competitive environment.
Leon returns to Cushman & Wakefield with more than a decade of experience at the firm in Japan, where he developed deep market expertise in the data centre sector, supporting client mandates through market analysis, research and participation in RFP processes. He most recently held senior regional roles on the operator side with Equinix and Digital Realty, where he was responsible for acquisitions and strategic expansion across Japan and Asia Pacific, leading major transactions in core markets including Tokyo and Osaka, and earning a global CEO award for his contributions to high impact, region defining projects.
Bringing a dual perspective approach, Leon blends institutional advisory experience with hands on operator-side execution expertise, enabling the firm to deliver commercially grounded solutions across the full data centre lifecycle.
Leon said, “Data centre strategy today requires a far more integrated approach than ever before - spanning capital allocation, site selection, scalability and long-term platform value. Having worked
on both the advisory and operator sides, I’m excited to return to Cushman & Wakefield and help
clients navigate complexity with solutions that are practical, executable and aligned with their
long-term growth across Asia Pacific.”
