After more than a decade at the helm, Anthony Hitt, president and CEO of Engel & Völkers Americas is stepping down.
The company announced recently that the Hitt is leaving his role on Dec. 31, 2024, to focus on “personal endeavours.” The industry leader started with Engel & Völkers in 2010 as head of real estate in California, before eventually moving into the role of CEO in 2014.
“Developing and guiding Engel & Völkers in the Americas has been a true privilege and one of my greatest accomplishments,” Hitt said in a press release. “Now, I feel it’s time to step back, leaving the company in strong hands as I focus on personal interests. I will always be a friend to Engel & Völkers and look forward to watching its continued growth and success with great pride to have been part of it.”
Stuart Siegel, the brand’s Americas chief strategy officer, will temporarily take over as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement.
Siegel notes Hitt’s legacy will have a lasting impact, “Anthony has always made sure that the Engel & Völkers brand was never about one person, but rather a collective of many.”
