Pam O’Connor has joined the advisory board of Maverix Advisory Group, an industry consulting group working with proptech startups and growing brokerages.
O’Connor retired in 2018 after serving as president and CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World since its founding in 1997.
“I worked with Jeff [Kennedy] for almost a decade, and it’s been fun watching him grow Maverix over the past year. I’m excited to be involved and look forward to supporting the shared mission,” O’Connor said in a statement on her placement.
Maverix was launched by Jeff Kennedy, a longtime industry player, who most recently served as vice president of sales and partnerships for Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE). His new firm’s intent is to guide executives and real estate entrepreneurs on go-to-market strategies, product direction and relationship building, among other advisory services.
Kennedy was joined by Kevin Van Eck in February, who previously worked at @properties Christie’s International Real Estate. Kennedy expressed gratitude for O’Connor’s presence in the industry and at Leading RE.
“Pam is one of the most respected leaders in residential real estate,” said Kennedy in the statement. “She’s a visionary, and her ability to see around corners and build world-class organizations is second to none. We’re honored to have her involved as we continue to grow a top-tier advisory platform for our clients.”
At the time of her retirement, Paul Boomsma of Leading RE also praised O’Connor’s leadership.
“With incredible passion, talent and dedication, Pam has spent decades building programs that support the success of independent brokerages. Her influence across the industry is undeniable, and we are immeasurably thankful for her years of leadership.”
O’Connor is joining former MoxiWorks CEO York Baur on the Maverix board, which was created to provide additional guidance to its principals.
The Maverix client list includes Curbio, Final Offer, Rechat, Notable and Courted, among others.
