Career and Focus

Gaw’s role sits at the intersection of private real estate investment and institutional capital formation. As managing principal and global head of capital markets, she works with limited partners on fundraising and the development of new products. Gaw Capital has raised commingled funds and separate accounts across Asia, the United States, Vietnam and hospitality strategies, as well as growth equity products. These are firm-level investment vehicles; Gaw’s personal contribution is in capital markets and product development, not a claim of sole management over each fund.

Before joining the family-founded Gaw Capital platform, she spent nearly 15 years in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and UBS, including Asia-Pacific sales and capital-introduction responsibilities. This experience linked investors with real estate managers and informed her later fundraising work. Gaw was appointed to CLP Holdings’ board in 2014 and also serves as an independent non-executive director at JD Logistics. Her other recognitions have included PERE’s Women of Influence. Her profile is distinct from her brothers Goodwin and Kenneth Gaw, who have separate leadership portfolios within the firm. She is a co-chair of alternative investments, underscoring the firm’s expansion beyond traditional property funds.
