DENVER — Denver-based Re/Max Holdings Inc. (NYSE: RMAX) has named a new CEO.
The parent company of the real estate brokerage Re/Max and mortgage brokerage franchise Motto Mortgage announced on Nov. 13 that Erik Carlson has taken the helm of chief executive officer at the giant real estate brokerage. Carlson is taking over the role from interim CEO Stephen Joyce and will also serve on the company’s board of directors.
Carlson comes from Dish Network Corp., where he has been president and CEO since 2017, according to his LinkedIn profile, having worked his way up from his first role as an account executive at the company in 1995.
Dave Liniger, board chairman and co-founder of Re/Max, said in an announcement that Carlson’s “decades-long experience overseeing large businesses and managing high-performance teams in a disruptive industry” helped him secure the new role and will help guide Re/Max “through its next phase of growth.”
The news of Carlson joining Re/Max comes just a week after Dish disclosed that Carlson would be leaving Dish on Nov. 12, following a dismal third quarter that dropped the company’s stock by 37%. And later last week, Dish Network also decided to lay off nearly 500 employees.
