PLACE has appointed Joe Bogar as Head of Operator Strategy, where he will oversee growth for several hundred real estate teams on the platform. The Bellingham, Washington-based company announced the move as part of its continued focus on operator performance and leadership development. Bogar brings decades of experience in coaching and organisational leadership, including a stint as President of MAPS Coaching, the education division of Keller Williams. In his new role, he will work directly with PLACE operators to strengthen performance, support growth strategies and ensure full utilisation of the platform's shared services and technology. Co-founder Ben Kinney said Bogar "has been in the trenches with operators for years" and can help them succeed operationally as PLACE expands nationally.
