Real Matters Inc., a network management services provider in the mortgage and insurance sectors, has announced board-level changes.
Lisa Melchior is stepping down after serving on the board since 2017. The company has appointed Kay Brekken (pictured above) to succeed Melchior as a member of the Compensation, Nomination and Governance Committee.
"On behalf of my fellow directors and the Real Matters management team, I would like to thank Lisa for her service and strategic input over the last seven years," Real Matters chairman Jason Smith said in a media release. “Her insights and experience provided an invaluable contribution to the company. We wish her continued success."
"I am honoured to have been part of Real Matters’ journey since the IPO, and to have seen the management team successfully navigate the business through periods of growth as well as challenging market conditions," said Melchior. "Real Matters has an exceptional management team, and I am confident that they will continue to advance the company’s market leadership position and execute its strategy while creating long-term value for shareholders."
Brekken brings over 25 years of financial leadership experience across real estate, retail, healthcare, and financial services. She previously served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust from 2014 to 2021 and Indigo Books & Music, Inc.
Brekken is a corporate director for Allied Properties REIT, RATESDOTCA Group Ltd., and an advisor for the Rotman School CFO Program. She holds accounting certifications and degrees from the University of Minnesota and the University of Washington.
"We are very pleased to welcome Kay as a new director. Her background and experience in real estate and financial services will be an asset to our board. We look forward to her contribution as we continue to execute on our long-term strategy." Smith added.
