Exp Realty Promotes Two Executives To C-suite

eXp Realty is finishing out the year elevating two executives to its C-suite leadership team. On Wednesday, the firm announced it was promoting Carrie Lysenko to chief technology officer and Holly Mabery to the newly created role of chief brokerage officer. 

Lysenko’s promotion comes as Sumanth Kamath, who has served at the firm’s CTO since March 2024, announces his decision to leave the firm to pursue “a new leadership opportunity.” eXp said that it is grateful for Kamath’s contributions to the firm and wishes him continued success. 

Prior to assuming her new role as CTO, Lysenko has served as the CEO of Zoocasa, a wholly-owned subsidiary of eXp, since April 2023. During her time there, Lysenko led the prop-tech company’s platform integration and lead generation capabilities across North America for eXp. In addition to her time at Zoocasa, Lysenko has also held leadership roles at VerticalScope and The Weather Network. 

As CTO, Lysenko will spearhead eXp’s innovation efforts with a specific focus on tools that improve agent productivity. 

“Real estate is no longer just about the transaction; it’s about the digital ecosystem that powers it,” Lysenko said in a statement. “Leading Zoocasa allowed me to see firsthand how data and design can transform an agent’s business. I am thrilled to bring that product-led mindset to eXp Realty’s global stage.”

Like Lysenko, Mabery is no stranger to eXp, having held the role of senior vice president of brokerage operations since 2024. In her newly appointed role, Mabery will focus on elevating the brokerage experience by ensuring that the support and compliance tools eXp offers remain at a top level. 

“At eXp, we haven’t just built a brokerage; we’ve built a community where agents feel seen and supported,” Mabery said in a statement. “This new role is a testament to eXp’s dedication to the human side of our business. I am honored to lead our incredible brokerage operations team as we continue to refine the backbone of this company, ensuring that as we grow in tech and size, we never lose sight of the excellence required to serve our agents and consumers.”

The firm said that these appointments underscore its commitment to “bridging cutting-edge technology with foundational brokerage excellence.”

“Growth isn’t just learned, it’s lived. Carrie and Holly have lived the evolution of this industry, and they are the exact leaders we need to define our future,” Leo Pareja, the CEO of eXp Realty, said in a statement. “Carrie creates technology that agents actually want to use, and Holly builds the brokerage operational trust that allows them to sleep at night. Elevating them to the C-Suite is more than a promotion; it’s a declaration that eXp Realty is doubling down on excellence, innovation, and the people who make this company great.”
