Compass names Lacey Conway head of M&A

Compass is hungry for more growth and it is turning to Lacey Conway to help it realize its ambitions. 

The brokerage on Thursday announced its appointment of Conway as the firm’s executive vice president of mergers and acquisitions. 

Conway joined Compass in the spring of 2024 through the firm’s acquisition of Latter & Blum. At the time of the acquisition, Conway was serving as the CEO of Latter & Blum, a role she had held for roughly five years. After the acquisition, Conway was made a regional vice president within Compass.

Compass said Conway has already helped spearhead growth for the brokerage throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas. In her new role, Conway will continue to assist in Compass’ growth by finding and executing partnerships and M&A deals with other brokerages nationwide. 

“We are thrilled to have Lacey lead the next phase of our M&A strategy,” Kalani Reelitz, the CFO of Compass, said in a statement. “Her expertise and deep alignment with our mission will be instrumental as we continue to expand our community of top-tier brokerages and exceptional agents.”

Compass CEO Robert Reffkin has not been shy in voicing his growth goals for the company. Reffkin has routinely announced that one of his company’s main goals is to realize an average of 30% market share in its top 30 markets.
