PEXA UK's chief product officer joins executive committee
The Open Property Data Association (OPDA) has announced the appointment of Australian-founded fintech provider PEXA to its executive committee.
Set up to drive innovation and collaboration in the property sector, OPDA – the UK’s first trade association for open property data – said its appointment of PEXA marked a significant step in advancing open property data standards and fostering seamless data collaboration across a broad cross section of the industry.
As an executive member, PEXA is expected to bring a commitment to data quality, security, and interoperability, aligning perfectly with OPDA’s mission to promote open data principles, facilitate industry wide collaboration, and to drive positive change in the property market.
PEXA UK’s chief product officer, Krystle Kocik, has also joined OPDA’s executive committee. She has been with PEXA for over 10 years and worked with the Australian property industry to design and build the completion platform.
With over 88% of Australian property transactions completing through PEXA, Kocik brings her industry and platform learnings to the UK to help deliver positive industry reform and change.
OPDA’s membership already includes some of the biggest names in the property market including data providers, technology companies, estate agency software, proptech start-ups, and intermediary platforms. Just recently, OPDA appointed Dale Jannels of One Mortgage System as its first intermediary executive member.
“Having PEXA join our executive committee is great news for the industry and a reflection of our commitment to unlock the potential of property data through openness and collaboration,” commented Maria Harris (pictured), chair of the Open Property Data Association. “Krystle brings a wealth of experience of creating standardised data formats, fostering data sharing, and driving innovation – everything we need to benefit our entire property ecosystem.
“It’s fantastic to have firms like PEXA embrace our vision and to bring their experience, perspective and dedication to enhancing data transparency and efficiency in the UK property market.”
Kocik, for her part, said she was delighted to represent PEXA and join OPDA as an executive committee member.
“With a shared vision on improving the way people buy, sell, and remortgage homes, it’s through industry collaboration and drive that we will collectively transform the experience for everyone,” she said.
