PropTech Startup MilikiRumah Names Ex-PropertyGuru Leader Faizal Abdullah as CCO

MilikiRumah is known for its AI-powered rent-to-own program and its AI-based SaaS platform that checks whether people qualify to buy a home in less than 5 seconds. The company aims to make homeownership more accessible through innovative technology.

“Barely a month into his newly-minted role since joining the Company on 4 May 2026, Faizal is already outperforming expectations by effectively driving a record-breaking 50 per cent month-on-month increase in revenue,” states Winston Lee (“Winston”), co-founder and chief executive officer of MilikiRumah. “We've proven the model works — now we're scaling it. Our focus for this next phase is disciplined expansion: Strengthening our commercial leadership, deepening developer and bank partnerships, and continuing to build the technology infrastructure that makes us the go-to platform for housing finance in Indonesia," opines Winston.

"Faizal and I are alumni of PropertyGuru Group and I had the pleasure of working with him for more than 10 years. We kicked off our executive roles in PropertyGuru Group at about the same time with both of us holding the positions of founder-minus-one. Faizal reported to PropertyGuru Group co-founder and chief executive officer Steve Melhuish whilst I reported to co-founder and managing director Jani Rautianen – who is an angel investor of MilikiRumah,” according to Winston. “During Faizal’s stint at PropertyGuru Group as director of sales support and enablement in Singapore, he helped grow overall revenue by 35 per cent year-on-year. When Faizal dual-hatted as acting country manager of PropertyGuru Group’s marketplace business in Indonesia, he attained market leader status for Rumah.com in a highly competitive and saturated market,” says Winston.

Faizal Abdullah worked at PropertyGuru Group from 2015 to 2018 as Director of Sales Support and Enablement in Singapore. During his time in the role, he helped increase the company's revenue by 35% year over year.

Later, Faizal became the Acting Country Manager for Rumah.com and RumahDijual.com, PropertyGuru's property marketplaces in Indonesia. He worked closely with the CEO and Chief Business Officer to support the sales team and drive revenue growth through better pricing and business strategies.

Under Faizal's leadership across Singapore and Indonesia, PropertyGuru strengthened its position and became the market leader in all four countries where it operated, including Malaysia and Thailand.
