As the Australian property market continues to boom, REA Group has strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of a new chief financial officer.
Andrew Cramer has been appointed to the position of chief financial officer (CFO) of REA Group and will begin in the new role effective 12 February 2026.
The appointment followed the decision of current CFO Janelle Hopkins to transition into a non-executive career by early next year.
Cramer brings nearly two decades of executive experience, having held roles at financial institutions Macquarie Group and Citi, as well as serving as deputy CFO of News Corp in New York.
REA Group chief executive officer Cameron McIntyre said Cramer's experience and financial expertise would be valuable as the group continues to focus on growth.
“Andrew has a strong collaborative style, and I look forward to working with him as part of our executive leadership team,” McIntyre said.
Departing CFO Janelle Hopkins said she was looking forward to the next stage of her career.
“Serving as REA Group’s CFO has been a privilege, and I have greatly valued working alongside a remarkable team.”
“Together, we’ve built an exceptional business, and I am proud of what we have achieved for our customers and shareholders,” Hopkins concluded.
