After a $60M Series C, Spruce Hires Three New Leaders

Property technology venture Spruce has hired three new executives as it looks to continue a growth surge that saw its headcount double in 2020.

The latest hires at the startup, which is streamlining online real estate transactions, are Head of Data Science Brittany Murphy, Head of Title Solutions Debra Hochman, and Enterprise Account Executive Susan King. The trio joins Spruce’s 300 current employees and advances the company’s goal of doubling its headcount again in 2021.

"These key hires will play critical roles in ensuring we continue to bring our innovative clients the utmost transparency, flexibility, and simplicity–enabling them to meet their ambitious growth goals,” Spruce Co-Founder and CEO Patrick Burns said in a press release.

Murphy joins from HouseCanary and will report directly to Burns. She will be in charge of the company's dynamic risk optimization models and underwriting algorithms, further driving Spruce's automated offerings. Hochman, on the other hand, will report to EVP of National Real Estate Operations Lisa Robertson and work to refine the company’s title solutions nationwide.

Finally, King, who will sit on VP of Revenue Jason Chiang’s team, will lead Spruce's expansion activities in the Western U.S.

At the start of June 2021, Spruce revealed a $60 million Series C funding round led by Zigg Capital. At the time, the company said the funding would be put toward growing its team and expanding its offering, which are two goals its new hires directly address.
