People on the Move: A new CFO at MoxiWorks
In his new role, Chris Choi will help “accelerate our transformation and solidify our position as an industry leader,” the tech firm’s CEO said.
Editor's note: As an industry with millions of agents and over 100,000 brokerage companies, new leaders rise to the top every day. Here we highlight executives and other notable leaders who've recently taken on, or stepped away from, roles that influence the residential real estate landscape.
MoxiWorks has a new chief financial officer this week after appointing Chris Choi to the role, making him the first person to officially carry the title in years.
Choi, who joined the Seattle-based real estate technology firm on an interim basis a couple of months ago, brings more than two decades of experience in finance. He previously held CFO positions at Flash Array and Rescale, with most of his work focused on helping startup companies scale up.
MoxiWorks CEO Eric Elfman said in a press release that the company conducted "an extensive search" for its new CFO before choosing Choi, whose "strategic insight and operational acumen will help MoxiWorks accelerate our transformation and solidify our position as an industry leader."
Choi described the company's vision as "not just achievable, but an exciting challenge I'm eager to take on" based on his time at MoxiWorks so far. "With its strong market position, ownership structure, and commitment to innovation, MoxiWorks is well-positioned for long-term success," he added. The software company serves more than 800 brokerages, offering products designed to help brokers and agents more efficiently manage everything from client interactions to transactions to reporting.
Choi's appointment follows other big staffing changes at Moxiworks in the last 12 months. Former CEO York Baur stepped down last June after 12 years in the role, which Elfman subsequently filled. A few months later, Ben Tao was tapped to join the company as its first chief marketing officer.
