Irvine-based CoreLogic Inc., one of the nation’s leading providers of residential real estate data, named Patrick Dodd as president and chief executive, dropping the interim title he held since his appointment in January.
“He has done an outstanding job as interim CEO, leading the company through a period of great transformation over the past six months,” said Deven Parekh, managing director at Insight Partners, a private equity firm that along with Stone Point Capital last year purchased CoreLogic in a $6 billion deal.
Over the past three decades, Dodd has held senior executive leadership positions at Nielsen, the company that became famous for inventing market share and measuring consumer goods and behavior. In 2020, he joined CoreLogic as its chief operating and growth officer.
“I am honored and excited to continue leading our outstanding team through this next important phase of growth and transformational evolution for our company,” Dodd said.
The company provides data to 2,000 lenders and 500 insurance companies; it has more than 1 million end-users. Its software powers more than 50% of real estate listings. The company has 5,000 employees globally, including 500 in the Irvine Spectrum, which is still its headquarters.
