The Executive Centre is the leading provider of premium flexible office space solutions in markets including Greater China, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East.

The Executive Centre’s offerings include high-quality enterprise solutions, premium private offices, coworking and virtual spaces, each equipped with meeting & event facilities, and a broad range of full IT support and corporate concierge services.

As part of the transaction, funds advised by HPEF Capital Partners and CVC Capital Partners will exit their investments in the Company. Members of TEC’s management team will continue to own shares in the Company.

Paul Salnikow, founder and CEO of The Executive Centre stated, “We are pleased to welcome KKR and TIGA Investments to The Executive Centre as our new investors. It’s a powerful partnership, well matched to drive the continued performance and growth of TEC. I also extend a big thank you to HPEF Capital Partners and CVC Capital Partners for their investment tenure, during which we increased the size of the business, sevenfold.”

SJ Lim, a Managing Director at KKR, added, “As we look ahead to the market’s evolving needs, flexibility will be key in companies’ future workplace strategies. We believe The Executive Centre is well placed to capture new growth opportunities and build on its longstanding leadership position in Asia’s premium workspace segment.
