"I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to make a solid impact in transforming how Indonesians shop for products via my previous leadership role at Lazada Indonesia, a Rocket Internet venture. I am excited to join the Rumah123.com team and I look forward to contributing my experience to help achieve the company's long term strategy," said Gaw.

He added that his ultimate goal as General Manager of Rumah123.com is to ensure that Rumah123.com continues to be the leader in its market by providing the best property hunting experience possible. At the same time, to become the best qualified leads generation tool for customers and partners.

Di Gregorio concluded saying, "We intend to accelerate our growth in Indonesia by continuously innovating and providing solutions that meet and exceed the requirement of both our consumers, partners and customers. With Gaw on board, we will not just expand our presence in Indonesia but also become the unrivaled market leader in the industry."
