"Krystle brings a wealth of experience of creating standardised data formats, fostering data sharing, and driving innovation – everything we need to benefit our entire property ecosystem."
The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) has appointed PEXA to its executive committee.
Krystle Kocik, CPO at PEXA, will join the committee to help drive data-driven transformation in the UK property industry.
Krystle joined PEXA over 10 years ago and worked with the Australian property industry to design and build its completion platform. With over 88% of Australian property transactions completing through PEXA, Krystle takes the industry and platform learnings with her to the UK to help deliver transformational outcomes for UK citizens and be an advocate for positive industry reform and change.
OPDA’s membership already includes data providers, technology companies, estate agency software, proptech start-ups, and intermediary platforms.
Last month, the OPDA appointed the first eight founding members of its executive committee and Dale Jannels, CEO at One Mortgage System, recently joined its executive committee.
Maria Harris, chair of OPDA, said: "Having PEXA join our executive committee is great news for the industry and a reflection of our commitment to unlock the potential of property data through openness and collaboration. Krystle brings a wealth of experience of creating standardised data formats, fostering data sharing, and driving innovation – everything we need to benefit our entire property ecosystem.
"It’s fantastic to have firms like PEXA embrace our vision and to bring their experience, perspective and dedication to enhancing data transparency and efficiency in the UK property market.”
Krystle Kocik, chief product and experience officer at PEXA, commented: "I am delighted to represent PEXA and join OPDA as an exec member. With a shared vision on improving the way people buy, sell and remortgage homes, it’s through industry collaboration and drive that we will collectively transform the experience for everyone.”
