Letter from Bob Goldberg sent out today….
With the creation of our Strategic Business Innovation and Technology (SBIT) team, it became increasingly clear to me that NAR’s need for a Chief Technology Officer and the advanced skill level that Mark Lesswing provided was no longer required, so we have eliminated that position as of today. Making reductions in the workforce is never easy, and I trust that you will join me in acknowledging the great contributions Mark made to NAR over the past 17 years and in wishing him great success in the next chapter of his career.
Mark is an incredibly talented guy with an enormous curiosity and really one of the nicest people I’ve met in the industry. I always enjoy seeing what the guys at CRT are working on. I have a CRT Labs sticker on the MacBook Pro I’m writing on now.
These transitions are tough, but sometimes the best thing too. Good luck to Mark on his continuing adventures.
When I see Gary Keller on stage trying to school Brad Inman, or brokers yelling at new companies complaining about their business models, you can deduce only one thing. They are scared shitless. They ought to be. The new entrants don’t give two shits about the old guard.
