Newmark Group said Barry Gosin will step down as chief executive officer on December 31, 2026, ending a tenure in the role that dates to 1979, while staying on as Chairman of Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc., the company’s operating business, to help manage the leadership handover. The board expects to name a new CEO by year end. The company framed the move as an orderly transition backed by an experienced leadership bench and said Gosin has signed an amended and restated employment agreement to remain chairman of Newmark & Co. up to 2029. Chairman of the Board, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Stephen Merkel said Gosin would help the next generation of leadership after overseeing milestones including Newmark’s 2017 initial public offering and revenue growth of more than 1,400% since 2011. Newmark said that comparison uses unaudited full-year 2011 revenue for Newmark & Co. against total revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. For that period, the company reported revenue of more than $3.6 billion. As of June 30, 2026, Newmark and its business partners operated from over 195 offices with more than 10,000 professionals across four continents; excluding independently owned business partners, it had about 9,500 employees in about 160 offices.
