Varun Krishna is back. And the timing couldn’t be more electric.
The Rocket Companies CEO returns to the stage at The Gathering 2025 for a keynote fireside chat – just months after shaking up the housing landscape with the huge acquisitions of Mr. Cooper and Redfin.
Krishna is executing a bold strategy to integrate real estate, mortgage, and servicing into a seamless, end-to-end consumer platform – and he’s doing it with precision. The wild part? Krishna called this shot at The Gathering 2024.
From the stage last year, Krishna delivered the powerful message that, “The more engagement points you have with a client, the more data you have. And that data lets you predict big decisions – life events – and personalize the experience.”
That’s the play. With millions of consumers engaging through Rocket’s massive servicing portfolio – and deeper innovation coming to the search experience – Krishna is building a system that anticipates needs and drives retention across the homeownership lifecycle.
“We want to partner with the folks in this room… If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Krishna is looking for situations where 1 plus 1 equals 11.
This year, Krishna sits down in an exclusive fireside chat to unpack:
- Rocket’s end-to-end ecosystem strategy
- The integration of Redfin and Mr. Cooper
- How data, servicing, and search are fueling deeper consumer relationships
- What’s next for one of housing’s most ambitious platforms
