Anywhere Real Estate has appointed Rudy Wolfs as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and announced the departure of Chief Operating Officer (COO) Melissa McSherry, according to a statement by the company. Wolfs, who has experience in fintech and previously worked in leadership roles at Capital One, will report directly to Anywhere President Ryan Schneider. In his new role, Wolfs will focus on further simplifying the real estate transaction and driving growth. McSherry, who joined the company in 2022, will step down at the end of the month but will continue as a strategic advisor until the end of March. Anywhere highlighted Wolfs’ background in startups, describing him as an “avid technology innovator.” The company expressed confidence that Wolfs would bring innovation and entrepreneurship to his work and play a pivotal role in accelerating Anywhere’s digital transformation.
McSherry’s tenure with Anywhere coincided with a challenging time for the company and the real estate industry as a whole. Anywhere settled several lawsuits in September 2022, becoming the first company to do so. McSherry joined the company as it rebranded from Realogy and will step down as the company prepares to report its Q1 and full-year 2023 earnings later this week.
