Get up close and personal with Sanny Linawati, Global Director of Destination and Real Estate Services at Cartus, as she shares her journey and expertise in managing relocation services across the Asia-Pacific region in an exclusive interview with Amcham Shanghai. With over two decades of experience in real estate and global mobility, Sanny’s story is one of adaptability and leadership in an ever-evolving global mobility landscape.
Sanny’s career in real estate began unexpectedly during a break from her studies at Tsinghua University. A chance encounter with a job advertisement led her to a Hong Kong Real Estate company, marking the beginning of her journey in the industry. Her unique language skills and hands-on experience have been pivotal in her success.
At Cartus, Sanny oversees a wide range of services, from housing and settling-in support to education and cross-cultural training. Her team’s agility during the Covid-19 pandemic showcased their ability to adapt to changing circumstances, offering virtual home tours and orientations to ensure seamless relocations.
Post-pandemic, the landscape for expatriates in China has shifted. While there is a return of mid- to high-level executives, challenges such as regulatory complexities and cultural barriers remain. However, China’s vast market and diverse talent pool continue to attract international professionals.
Cartus’ recent global talent mobility survey highlights the need for balancing employee experience with cost-effectiveness. Flexibility in mobility policies and leveraging technology such as MovePro360® and Benefits Builder are key strategies for navigating the current economic landscape.
Sanny’s insights underscore the importance of adaptability, cultural understanding, and strategic planning in the dynamic field of global relocation. Please see the full article here.
