Compass is the largest independent real estate brokerage in the US. We rapidly grew to over 20,000 agents over the course of seven years, and IPO'ed in 2021. Compass acquired Contactually in 2019.At Compass, I built our end-to-end lead platform to help agents source, qualify, and close prospective buyers and sellers -- both from our inbound/organic and paid channels/partnerships. Ultimately, my team was responsible for increasing our existing agent revenue 25% YoY ($500M+ per year).

I co-founded Contactually in 2011 and helped grow the business to over $10M ARR. I managed all teams at Contactually, including marketing, sales, customer success, and product/engineering.We were acquired by Compass in February 2019. Contactually was the leading independent SaaS-based CRM for real estate agents and brokerages. Our software helped agents generate more referral business from their personal network, and brokerages better retain their top talent. We were used by tens of thousands of agents across the US, and 40% of the Top 100 US brokerages were enterprise customers.
