Eytan Seidman joins Compass as Head of Product

Compass, a real estate technology company, today announced that Eytan Seidman will join its leadership team as head of product. Seidman will lead the company’s growing product organization and further Compass’ mission of helping real estate agents manage and grow their business.

Before joining Compass, Seidman sold the company he cofounded, Oyster.com, to TripAdvisor, after growing the site from launch to more than 1,000,000 visitors per month. He subsequently spent four years as a vice president and general manager at TripAdvisor. Prior to founding Oyster.com, Seidman was a principal program manager lead at Microsoft, where he built Microsoft’s first-ever customer relationship management product and served as product manager for the company’s search engine, Bing. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with dual degrees in computer science and history.

“Eytan has a vision for how the agents of the future will use technology to simplify their work and spend more time advising clients and closing deals. We’re confident that Eytan will help Compass build innovative products that transform both the agent experience and the real estate industry,” said Maëlle Gavet, chief operating officer of Compass.
