People Roundup: REA Group, 360LATAM

This week's people roundup is short and sharp, just how we like it. Here's what we found...

REA restructure includes executive re-hire

REA Group has instigated a corporate reshuffle designed to simplify workflows and streamline efficiencies in the Customer space.

The new Customer Group structure means customer product and services teams will join the sales, marketing and support functions under one umbrella department, starting in October 2024.

As part of the change, REA has rehired Tim Bradley as Executive General Manager for Customer Platforms and Services, rejoining three years after leaving for account software business Xero.

Chief Customer Officer, Kul Singh, will also have added responsibilities as CampaignAgent, Realtair, Agent Services and Agency Marketplace all fall under his leadership.

Singh said:

"We want to ensure we’re supporting our customers with the best tools and services to win their next deal and to run their businesses in the most effective and efficient way.

"Bringing our full customer offering under the same team will help deliver bigger and better results for our customers. With leading tech supporting our innovative tools and products, our combined Customer Group structure will help free customers up to focus on what they do best."

Tim Bradley commented:

"I’m excited to return to REA and bring key learnings from Xero. Our aim is to further enhance the software that makes it easier for our customers to do business. Customers can expect improved API and CRM integration, workflow and cashflow support through Realtair and Campaign Agent, and the right tools and services to win more business with our evolving Agency Marketplace."
