Rex Software CEO Steps Aside

Co-founder of Rex Software Anton Babkov, has transitioned from the position of chief executive officer to assume a role on the board of directors for the real estate software provider.

Davin Miller, the newly appointed CEO, has taken over the leadership role from Mr. Babkov, commencing his position this week.

Mr. Babkov played a crucial role in establishing and expanding REX, transforming it into one of the prominent real estate software companies in Australia and New Zealand.

He expressed his pride in Rex's accomplishments thus far and conveyed his confidence in its ongoing contributions to the real estate sector.

Mr. Babkov extended his deep gratitude to their customers, highlighting the loyalty of those who have stood by them during the various ups and downs of the past 12 years.

"With their invaluable support, Rex has emerged as the foremost CRM company in the ANZ market and a formidable contender in the UK.

Over the last year, we have generated significant momentum by pioneering advancements in AI, automation, digital advertising, and successfully launching new products to the market."

“That momentum is underpinned by what is by far the strongest team we’ve assembled to date. 

“I’m confident that Rex will continue to grow stronger, and with Davin at the helm, Rex is poised to deliver incredible things to the agents we’ve been proudly serving for so many years.”

Rex Software Board of Directors Chairman Cheyne Tan extended the board’s gratitude for Mr Babkov’s leadership and said the members looked forward to continuing to work with him as an active board member. 

“Anton’s vision has established Rex Software as a market leader in the real estate software sector,” Mr Tan, who is also a partner at Potentia Capital, said.

“As Anton transitions to a role on the board, I want to thank him for his outstanding leadership and drive in building Rex Software into a global PropTech leader.

Mr Tan said the board was confident Mr Miller would guide Rex through its next phase of growth and innovation.

“We look forward to working with Davin, who’s experience and customer focus will no doubt accelerate Rex Software’s growth.”

Mr Miller brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously been a regional CEO at Xplor Technologies for 12 years. 

“I am honoured and excited to join Rex as its new CEO,” he said. "“I am committed to building upon the strong foundation laid by Anton and working collaboratively with the talented Rex team to drive continued success.”

The transition is anticipated to be effortless, as Mr. Babkov and Mr. Miller collaborate closely to guarantee a seamless handover."
