The National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced the appointment of David Conroy as chief data officer and senior vice president of strategy and innovation, a newly created role.

In this position, Conroy will guide enterprise-wide data strategy, unify disparate technology and data functions, and scale internal systems to better support NAR’s mission and members. He will oversee data governance, systems integration, and innovation delivery across the organization.

“Data is one of NAR’s most important strategic assets – and the way we structure and use it will shape where our association goes next,” said Nykia Wright, CEO of NAR. “David’s vision, leadership, and track record of transformational technology work will help deepen our analytic capabilities, streamline operations, and drive innovation in ways that give our members a strategic advantage.”

Most recently, Conroy served as chief technology officer at the California Association of Realtors. Earlier in his career, he served as NAR’s director of technology and innovation. Conroy begins his new job in January.

“David’s appointment represents a critical turning point for NAR,” said Mark Birschbach, NAR’s executive vice president of strategic business, innovation and technology. “The chief data officer role will help us better integrate our technology platforms, strengthen data-driven decision-making, and accelerate the innovation that keeps our members competitive. David’s deep understanding of both our systems and our strategic priorities makes him uniquely qualified to lead this work.”
