SIIA’s TechChats provides a look into some of the most successful executives in our industry. Hear how many of them got to where they are today, what is shaping their businesses and the industry today, and special advice they would give to others trying to grow a successful company.

I recently sat down with Rick Sharga Chief Marketing Officer of Ten-X. Rick became CMO of Ten-X in January, 2016, after spending two years with the company (then branded as Auction.com) as an Executive Vice President. One of the country’s most frequently-quoted sources on real estate, mortgage and foreclosure trends, Rick has appeared on the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, CNN, ABC World News, CNBC, FOX, Bloomberg and NPR; briefed government organizations such as the Federal Reserve and Senate Banking Committee; and corporations like JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Deutsche Bank. Rick was also included in Inman News’ Inman 100, an annual list of the most influential leaders in real estate in both 2013 and 2014.
