He is a strong, well-rounded leader with decades-long experience overseeing large businesses and managing high-performance teams in a disruptive industry, with a self-described ‘obsessive focus on the customer,’ all of which makes him uniquely qualified to lead RE/MAX Holdings through its next phase of growth.”
Mr. Liniger continued: “We thank Steve for his contributions as our CEO and we look forward to his continued involvement as a director on the RE/MAX Holdings Board.”
Mr. Carlson commented: “I am excited to start this next chapter in my career as CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, and I am honored to be part of the all-time global leader in its industry, a company whose entrepreneurial spirit I have long admired. Dave and Gail Liniger founded and have built an enduring real estate institution with great brands and highly productive networks that span the world. I look forward to joining the RE/MAX Holdings team and applying my operational expertise as well as my experience working with local businesses and serving local communities to further extend the Company’s success.”
During Mr. Carlson’s tenure as President and CEO, DISH won recognition for customer satisfaction for six consecutive years. He also was a key driver behind the DISH Cares initiative, DISH’s corporate citizenship effort focused on “Our People, Our Communities and Our Planet.” Prior to becoming President and CEO of DISH in 2017, Mr. Carlson held several other leadership roles at the company, including President and Chief Operating Officer, overseeing day-to-day operations and managing DISH’s In-Home services and customer service centers.
