Kyero, the UK-based international property portal, has appointed Gemma Coles as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), stepping up from her role as Managing Director to replace co-founders Martin and Louise Dell with immediate effect.

Coles joined the company in 2020 and oversaw revenue growth of 50% amid a challenging environment including Brexit and Covid-19. Kyero now has a turnover of £4 million, is the largest international property portal in the UK, and has relationships with over 10,000 estate agents across Spain, Portugal, Italy and France.

Gemma Coles Kyero Coles (pictured) commented:

“I am delighted to be taking on the role of CEO, and proud to be driving growth with such a talented team.

“Despite the significant recent growth of the business, we remain nimble and well-positioned to respond to the considerable opportunity that exists in the market, particularly as data suggests that buyer confidence in the overseas market is high compared to some domestic markets.”

Louise Dell, co-founder at Kyero, said:

“Gemma has delivered consistent and impressive growth across the business over the last three years despite a series of significant challenges within the international property market. At the same time, she has always ensured that Kyero’s founding ethos as a business with heart and soul has always been at the forefront, not least through her leading the work to achieve B Corp status in 2022.”

Kyero is the leading real estate marketplace for multinational buyers. Kyero has the largest selection of overseas property of any international portal and showcases over 750,000 properties across Spain, Portugal, France and Italy.
