Last week, Sutton Group announced the appointment of James Innis as president and COO. Innis will lead Sutton’s new growth, technology and capital market initiatives.

With success and global experience across technology in real estate, financial services and capital markets in Canada, the UK and Germany, Innis’ work has played a key role in transactions of over $300 million involving top-tier technology companies and investment funds.

His most recent tenure as managing director at R-LABS had him lead the strategy to develop the platform into one of the first global real estate technology-focused venture builders.

‘Aligns perfectly with our vision to empower our group, franchise partners, agents and all Canadians with cutting-edge tools and data’

“James is the perfect addition to the Sutton Group,” Ross McCredie, CEO and chairman says. “His vast and diverse experience in fintech and capital markets will be instrumental in merging Sutton’s strong Canadian presence with a forward-looking, technology-led approach that is sorely needed in the sector. James’ expertise aligns perfectly with our vision to empower our group, franchise partners, agents and all Canadians with cutting-edge tools and data, redefining the real estate industry in Canada.”

Sutton Group notes that Innis’ appointment represents a strategic shift towards enhancing support for partners and agents with cutting-edge technology, tools and data, poised to transform the role of an agent.

“I am excited to join the proven team at Sutton Group at an exciting time and am optimistic about our future,” expresses Innis. “Sutton Group holds an important place in the ecosystem as a trusted brand for Canadians and with a unique opportunity to support Canadian communities and homeowners towards a better future.”
