Opendoor names Lucas Matheson president, Christy Schwartz CFO
"Matheson most recently served as the CEO of Coinbase Canada. Prior to this, Matheson spent five years in a variety of operational roles at Shopify where he oversaw things like M&A, corporate financial planning and strategic expansion. Matheson is the second Shopify alum to join Opendoor's executive team, as the iBuyer's new CEO Kaz Nejatian had previously served as Shopify's chief operating officer. In his new role, Matheson will oversee corporate development, financial planning and analysis, and new and emerging strategic initiatives."
"Real estate is one of the last major asset classes that hasn't been touched by the financial innovation happening everywhere else, Matheson said in a statement. Opendoor has already proven you can reimagine how people buy and sell homes. I'm here to help execute on what's next. Unlike Matheson, Schwartz is not a newcomer to Opendoor. She has served as the firm's interim CFO since mid-September, a role she previously held from December 2022 to November 2024."
"Earlier in her career with Opendoor, Schwartz served as the company's vice president, corporate controller, from August 2016 until March 2021. We looked everywhere, Nejatian said in a statement. We talked to CFOs from nearly every sector. And we realized the person with the deepest command of our business, the trust of every team, and the bias for action we need was already here."
Matheson joins Opendoor after serving as CEO of Coinbase Canada and five years in operational roles at Shopify overseeing M&A, financial planning and strategic expansion. Matheson is the second former Shopify executive on Opendoor's leadership team and will lead corporate development, financial planning and analysis, and new strategic initiatives. Schwartz has longstanding Opendoor experience, serving as interim CFO since mid-September and previously as CFO, chief accounting officer, and vice president corporate controller across multiple years. Nejatian said internal talent offered the deepest command of the business. Shrisha Radhakrishna will remain as chief technology and product officer.
