Two new execs join MRI Software to drive sales & partnerships
The company has appointed former Isentia and SAS executive, Tim Pickard, and former Head of Real Estate for Australian Community Media and Domain veteran, Steve Grubmier, to strategic senior roles driving sales and partnerships.
David Bowie, Managing Director and Senior Vice President (Asia Pacific) for MRI Software welcomes the appointments as the PropTech leader rises to growing demand for its 50-years’
experience creating open and connected real estate software solutions.
“It is my privilege to work alongside professionals with the depth of integrity and expertise that both Tim and Steve bring to their new roles,” Bowie says.
“They are joining MRI at an exciting time for our industry as it pivots to embrace all the benefits of PropTech, like the banking and financial services industry needed to do with FinTech a decade ago.
“MRI is committed to creating a culture and workplace that nurtures excellence and sector-expertise to the advantage of our clients, and it starts with great people like them.”
