Head of International Residential, South East Asia, JLL

James Puddle is a seasoned professional in the residential property and investment sector, boasting over 15 years of experience. Before relocating to Singapore in 2017, he was based in London, where he dedicated nearly 12 years to marketing UK residential properties to international markets.

Recognising a gap in the market for a boutique real estate agency specializing in international project marketing, James founded One Global Group in Singapore. Under his leadership, the company expanded its presence to Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Middle East, and Africa, growing to over 50 staff members globally.

In 2023, James joined JLL Singapore as the Head of International Residential for South East Asia. In this role, he leverages his extensive experience to connect high-net-worth investors with premium residential developments across the region.

Throughout his career, James has been committed to providing clients with exceptional service and access to high-quality international properties. His strategic vision and deep industry knowledge have established him as a trusted leader in the real estate sector.
