Inman announced Tuesday that it has appointed a new chief executive officer to lead the company following the departure of CEO Emily Paquette.
Tom Bohn, an experienced executive who has led high-growth companies across media, events, data intelligence and franchise systems, will officially step into his new role on April 2, a statement from the company notes.
Bohn most recently served as CEO of THM Media, the parent company of TheHomeMag, where he led the company through a period of high growth and transformation.

“I’m honored to be joining Inman at such a pivotal moment for the real estate industry,” Bohn said in a statement. “Inman has built a deeply engaged community of professionals who rely on its insights and events.”
Bohn also previously served as CEO of the Association for Corporate Growth and the North American Veterinary Community.
The company said in the announcement that it was focused on expanding its role as an intelligence platform for the real estate industry, prioritizing growth across its core products.
“I look forward to working with the team to accelerate the company’s evolution into a leading intelligence platform — expanding our data and enterprise capabilities, strengthening our events as a forum for industry leaders, and innovating at the intersection of technology, AI, and the real estate transaction,” Bohn said.
Paquette served as CEO for four years after she replaced former CEO Josh Albertson. Albertson was CEO when Canadian private equity firm Beringer Capital aquired Inman in 2021.
Paquette became CEO the following year, kicking off an era during which Inman expanded both events and its data intelligence offerings.
Inman acquired events company Blueprint in 2024 and began rolling out data-rich content to subscribers shortly after. The company also expanded beyond the marquee Inman Connect events, adding regional Inman On Tour events in locations such as Texas and Tennessee.

Inman also launched Inman Intel, a new data and research arm that offers deep insights on the real estate and proptech sectors, in early 2023.
Paquette had previously served in various sales roles for eight years, rising to become Chief Revenue Officer before stepping into the CEO job.
“It has been an extraordinary honor to spend the past 12 years at Inman,” Paquette said in a statement. “I am deeply proud of what we have built together and grateful for the opportunity to serve this company and the broader Inman community. It has been a privilege to help steward such an important brand and I have great confidence in Tom, the team, and the company’s future.”
