Redfin Corporation has appointed Bright Horizons Chairman David Lissy as chairman of its board of directors, succeeding Robert Mylod, who has served as the tech-powered residential real estate company’s chairman since 2016. Lissy joined Redfin’s board in February 2018; his term as chairman begins on July 1.
“Dave’s experience running a mission-driven company with a large field organization already made him perfect for our board,” said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. “And now, because of Dave’s leadership as a Redfin board director on culture, field compensation and communications, management structure, financial discipline and many other topics, he’s a natural choice as our chairman. Dave has also developed a rapport with our execs, just as Bob did, which makes it easier for the board to talk openly with management about where we want to do better.”
Mylod, who has been nominated as chairman of Booking Holdings, will remain on Redfin’s board and the board’s audit committee.
