Alessio Sanfilippo Appointed as New CEO of Redfin
Redfin has appointed Alessio Sanfilippo, former VP of Insights at Meta's Reality Labs, as its new CEO following Glenn Kelman’s departure in late 2025. Sanfilippo brings over two decades of experience across technology and data analytics roles at companies like WhatsApp, Intuit, SAP, and United Airlines. Sanfilippo will take the helm immediately from interim CEO Varun Krishna, who praised his ability to merge analytical thinking with consumer insight during their time together at Intuit. His appointment follows Rocket Companies' acquisition of Redfin in June 2025 for $1.75 billion, transforming Rocket into a full-service real estate platform. Rocket has been integrating its services across the homebuying process and reported significant growth in mortgage leads from Redfin users. The company also reached an agreement with Zillow under FTC oversight to resolve antitrust concerns related to their syndication deal.
