Cameron McIntyre has been onboarded as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at REA Group effective third November 2025. He will replace Owen Wilson, who is retiring from full-time executive roles, as previously announced in February.
McIntyre has led CAR Group as Managing Director and CEO for the past nine years. During his tenure, the company significantly expanded, growing over six times larger while delivering excellent shareholder returns.
Wilson has been with REA Group for nearly 11 years, including over six years as CEO. He will remain in the role until 31 October 2025 to support a smooth transition. After stepping down, he will take on the role of Chair of REA India.
McLennan recognised the contribution Wilson has made in his time at REA: Since announcing his retirement in February, Wilson has continued to lead the company with commitment. Over his time as CFO and CEO, Wilson played a key role in REA’s growth and transformed from an Australian property listing business to an international, diversified business, and the renowned culture of REA has gone from strength to strength.
REA Group Chairman, Hamish McLennan said: “We are delighted to announce Cam’s appointment, following a comprehensive global search. His proven calibre and unique experience, including a deep understanding of, and success in, a business that has much in common with REA, make him the ideal person to build on REA’s strong momentum and lead its next phase of growth. Having led the growth and transformation of CAR Group’s business, Cam has a wealth of experience in successfully leading a thriving global digital business. He has consistently executed strategies that enhance value for customers while breaking new ground to improve the consumer journey. His track record of driving high performance and his commitment to leading the growth and development of teams also demonstrate a clear alignment with REA’s values.”
McIntyre said: “I’m thrilled to be joining REA Group. This is an inspiring and iconic business that I’ve long admired and whose products I’ve observed and used extensively for many years. REA has outstanding market leading brands, a talented team, an incredible culture and a lot of growth potential. Its culture of innovation and investment is renowned and I’m looking forward to working with the Board and the team to continue delivering growing value for REA’s customers, frictionless and engaging experiences that enhance the property experience for consumers, and excellent outcomes for shareholders.”
