RE/MAX Holdings Inc. (NYSE: RMAX), parent company of RE/MAX and Motto Mortgage, named Erik Carlson as its new CEO and a member of its board of directors.
Carlson was most recently president and CEO of DISH Network Corp., where he ran the company’s two largest businesses, DISH TV and SLING TV. He succeeds, Stephen Joyce, who served as interim CEO after Adam Contos stepped down from the chief executive position last March.
“Erik is the ideal executive to take over as the new RE/MAX Holdings CEO, having excelled in various operational, customer-centric and sales roles at DISH,” said RE/MAX Holdings Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder Dave Liniger. “He is a strong, well-rounded leader with decades-long experience overseeing large businesses and managing high-performance teams in a disruptive industry, with a self-described ‘obsessive focus on the customer,’ all of which makes him uniquely qualified to lead RE/MAX Holdings through its next phase of growth.”
