Vice President Industry Relations and Standards, REcolorado
1. What are the three most important priorities or initiatives that RESO should pursue during the next two years?
• Thanks in part to the work done by RESO, the future of our industry is taking a new shape and its infrastructure is being strengthened. RESO, along with its vision of promoting technology innovation in real estate are becoming more widely understood but there is still more work to do. The three most important priorities I believe RESO should pursue include:
1. Continuing to drive the implementation of data standards adoption by all stakeholders.
2. Strengthening support behind the Cross-Platform Interoperability workgroup, an initiative that will grow in importance as competing and complementary products are enhanced through the exchange of functionality and data.
3. Facilitating the adoption of RESO standards beyond MLS data, to include standards for the full ecosystem of property data such as taxing, water, and power authorities, which could potentially be addressed by the Distributed Ledger Workgroup.
2. How do you see your contributions as a board member being utilized for realizing these priorities?
• I believe I am well suited to actively contribute to the success of RESO by serving on the Board of Directors. My experience within the industry is diverse and will complement the background and experience of the members of the RESO board. I have a broad background that includes working for an MLS vendor and being a producing broker-owner. I am currently on the leadership team at REcolorado where I have overseen licensing of MLS data to vendors and brokers for data-driven products, as well as onboarding and data support. One of my proudest moments was when the REcolorado Board decided to adopt the RESO standard as our native data dictionary based on my evangelizing the benefits of data standardization and the efforts of the REcolorado team
3. The Board meets regularly, via conference calls and some in-person. Board members also are called to serve on or chair committees and special taskforces.
Are you willing and able to meet the time requirements to serve as a director for a 2-year term?
• Yes, I am willing and able to meet the time requirements to serve as a director for a two-year term. I have the support of REcolorado, as well as the REcolorado Board of Directors. REcolorado is fully dedicated to support the mission and vision for RESO. My active participation would continue to reinforce our commitment to the future of real estate technology.
