Kok is tasked to manage all finance matters “including developing and enforcing capital management strategy through raising of debt and equity.”

According to ESR Logos Reit, Kok has been working with the firm since August 2019. Before this, he was vice president of finance at Ascendas Fund Management Limited from 2015 to 2019.
