“I am delighted to be taking on the role of CEO, and proud to be driving growth with such a talented team.

“Despite the significant recent growth of the business, we remain nimble and well-positioned to respond to the considerable opportunity that exists in the market, particularly as data suggests that buyer confidence in the overseas market is high compared to some domestic markets.”

Louise Dell, co-founder at Kyero, said:

“Gemma has delivered consistent and impressive growth across the business over the last three years despite a series of significant challenges within the international property market. At the same time, she has always ensured that Kyero’s founding ethos as a business with heart and soul has always been at the forefront, not least through her leading the work to achieve B Corp status in 2022.”
