Mitch Armstrong has been named as joining the network, with the new CEO role expected to allow the corporate team to work more closely with existing offices and assist with Obrien’s continued growth.
Mr Armstrong comes to Obrien from Kay & Burton, where he was the chief commercial officer. Prior to that, he had also served as sales director for Domain and chief operating officer for The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Armstrong said he was honoured to be selected as the network’s first chief executive, stating: “It is a privilege to be part of an organisation that delivers high-quality services and innovative solutions to the best clients, develops the most talented professionals into leaders and does its part to improve the societies in which we operate.
“We are an organisation led by a purpose — to make a positive, meaningful impact that matters to everyone OBrien touches. I will do my best to serve the network by helping enable our leaders and people to fulfil their passion to make a difference.
“My long-term goal is to see OBrien grow to the largest, most exciting real estate brand in Victoria and beyond.”
According to a statement from Obrien Real Estate, the new CEO will transition into the responsibility of all corporate operations and strategy, reporting to corporate directors Dean O’Brien, Darren Hutchins, and Stavros Ambatzidis.
For Mr Hutchins, Mr Armstrong’s appointment “marks an exciting new chapter for OBrien Real Estate”.
He shared the belief that the new CEO “is a great fit” for the brand, “with the combination of skills and experience to lead the business through its next strategic phase”.
“We are looking forward to working with Mitch to ensure OBrien Real Estate continues to deliver on its purpose, to create a place where we can facilitate peoples’ growth,” Mr Hutchins said.
Fellow corporate director Mr O’Brien has also touted the “unique perspectives” that Mr Armstrong will bring to the table regarding the national business environment.
“I am excited to work with Mitch as we continue to make significant inroads in becoming Victoria’s most successful, progressive, and innovative real estate brand,” he shared.
“Mitch has already been impressed by the quality of our people, the strength of our culture and our client relationships. We believe we have an exciting future in front of us as we capture growth opportunities.”
Already, Mr Armstrong has made a strong impression, according to Mr Ambatzidis, who said: “He has impressed us with his clarity, structure and focus, and a strong client-centric mindset to the role, and by his drive to lead the development of Obrien Real Estate’s future strategy.”
