September, October and November 2025 brought a slew of executive transitions within the apartment industry, as many companies expanded or underwent restructuring.
In November, RealPage appointed Dirk Wakeham as its new president and CEO, replacing Dana Jones, a move that surprised some industry watchers. He previously served as managing director for Vista Equity Partners and was president of RealPage until 2013, following its acquisition of LeasingDesk, the company he founded.
In multiple announcements in October and November, TruAmerica Multifamily announced a series of promotions. Also in November, Elme Communities announced a mutual separation with Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Susan Gerock as part of a broader restructuring for the Bethesda, Maryland-based REIT.
