Domain CEO Jason Pellegrino to step down after six years.

Search for Pellegrino's replacement to begin soon.

Domain competes with REA Group in the property classifieds market.

Jason Pellegrino, the chief executive officer of Domain Holdings Australia (ASX:DHG), has announced his decision to step down from his leadership role after serving the company for six years. Domain, a prominent player in the property classifieds industry, has a market value of approximately AUD 1.96 billion and is 60 percent owned by Nine Entertainment, a major Australian media group. Pellegrino will remain in his position for an interim period of three to six months while the search for a new CEO is conducted.

Pellegrino, who previously held a high-ranking position as managing director of Google Australia and New Zealand, has been a key figure in shaping Domain’s strategy during his tenure. His leadership helped the company navigate a highly competitive market dominated by its chief rival, REA Group (ASX:REA), which owns realestate.com.au. Despite these efforts, Domain’s performance has been overshadowed by REA Group, which has maintained a stronger market presence in the digital real estate sector.

Under Pellegrino's guidance, Domain has continued to evolve its digital offerings and strengthen its infrastructure, positioning the company to compete more effectively within the property ecosystem. The company has focused on building a robust digital platform that serves property buyers, sellers, and renters across Australia.

Domain Chairman Nick Falloon praised Pellegrino for his contributions to the company’s growth and strategic direction. In a statement, Falloon highlighted Pellegrino’s efforts in reinforcing Domain’s financial, operational, and cultural foundations, making it competitive in the rapidly evolving property landscape. Falloon noted that Pellegrino’s leadership has helped create a strong base for the company's future growth, particularly in its digital transformation.

As Domain begins its search for a new CEO, the company remains focused on maintaining its competitive edge in the market, leveraging its digital infrastructure and resources. The transition in leadership is expected to be smooth, with Pellegrino playing a key role in ensuring continuity during the search and handover process.
