NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Skanska, a leading global development and construction firm, today announced two promotions in its U.S. building operations. Effective immediately, Jenny Chandler Graham has been promoted to Executive Vice President – Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), and Tieg Murray Rustam to Vice President – Market Strategy and Creative Services, both with Skanska USA Building.

As CSO, Graham will lead the business unit’s long-term strategic planning, drive internal alignment, and deepen engagement with customers and partners. She will oversee the 120-person Strategy team which includes Marketing, Business Development, Data and Analytics, and Emerging Technology. She will report directly to Clay Haden, President & CEO, Skanska USA Building, and join the business’ Senior Leadership Team.

A 20-year veteran of Skanska, Graham started her career as a marketing intern and has since held a series of increasingly significant leadership roles, most recently serving as Vice President – Market Strategy and Creative Services. Deeply committed to innovation and enterprise growth, Graham’s strategic thinking and initiatives have strengthened the business’ market differentiation, established and evolved new market approaches, and enhanced collaboration across the business, in the U.S., and around the world.

A Tennessee native, Graham holds a B.S. in Business from the University of Tennessee at Martin. She succeeds Anita Nelson, who recently assumed executive oversight of Skanska Advanced Technology (SAT), in addition to Skanska Integrated Solutions (SIS).

Succeeding Graham, Tieg Murray Rustam has been promoted to Vice President – Market Strategy and Creative Services. In her new role, Rustam will focus on growing market share in core sectors, lead strategic planning to strengthen market positioning, and oversee the creative services teams—graphic design, technical writing, and advanced visualization. She will report directly to Graham.

Rustam’s nearly 19-year career at Skanska is marked by strategic clarity, collaboration, and a deep care for people. Most recently, as Senior Director – Market Strategy, Rustam led growth planning across several core market sectors including higher education, K-12, Science + Technology, mission critical, and healthcare. Her leadership has been vital to developing key components of the business plan and to fostering national and global relationships. Rustam holds a B.A. in English from the Pennsylvania State University.

“Jenny and Tieg exemplify the kind of leadership that drives Skanska forward—strategic, collaborative, and deeply committed to our people and our purpose,” said Haden. “Jenny’s vision and enterprise-wide impact have helped shape our future, and Tieg’s ability to connect strategy with execution makes her the perfect leader to continue that momentum. I look forward to seeing how they’ll elevate our business in the years ahead.”

WATERLOO, Ontario & MELBOURNE, Australia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–REA Group (“REA”) today announced that it has agreed to acquire 61.5% of Planitar Inc., the maker of iGUIDE (“iGUIDE”). Based in Ontario, Canada, iGUIDE is a proprietary camera and software platform that uses advanced AI capabilities to identify property features and produce immersive 3D virtual tours, precise floor plans and reliable property measurement data.

iGUIDE’s proprietary PLANIX camera systems combine advanced LiDAR and 360° imagery to efficiently and accurately map property interiors and exteriors, converting physical spaces into digital ones. It is the market leader in Canada with 25% of all homes sold in the country in 2025 featuring an iGUIDE¹. The affordable PLANIX R1 camera enables rapid capture and fast data processing while the iGUIDE platform offers the unique functionality to edit 3D tours after they are captured. iGUIDE is used by real estate photographers and agents in over 50 countries globally.

By combining floor plans with high-quality visual data, iGUIDE offers consumers an intuitive and immersive way to digitally explore built environments. Once a digital twin of a property is created, users gain access to interactive floor plans and detailed imagery, enabling them to take custom measurements and virtually walk through the space. This enhances their understanding of the property’s layout and dimensions, supporting more informed decision making.

The proposed acquisition complements REA’s consumer strategy, which is focused on delivering highly personalised, immersive and engaging property experiences for the more than 12 million Australians who use realestate.com.au every month². Last year, REA launched its AI-driven next generation listing initiative to transform listings from a static advertisement to a dynamic real-time representation of a property. Consumers are now spending more time on listings and engaging more deeply³.

REA Group Chief Executive Officer, Owen Wilson, said the company continues to invest in new technology to accelerate its strategy and evolve its market leading consumer products.

“I’m delighted to welcome the iGUIDE team into REA and look forward to introducing iGUIDE’s leading 3D tour and floor plan technology to the Australian market,” he said.

“This type of spatial mapping technology instils confidence and helps property seekers make more informed decisions while also providing agents and vendors a way to differentiate their property to secure the best outcome. While approximately less than five percent of listings currently feature a 3D tour⁴, we expect this to grow as advances in technology support higher quality and more accessible solutions, like iGUIDE.

“Interactive content and video will become the standard for property marketing in the coming years and already we’re seeing the positive impacts more immersive experiences are delivering for property seekers and real estate professionals. iGUIDE’s interactive floor plans and 3D tours are a natural extension for realestate.com.au and this proposed acquisition allows us to build on the video capabilities we have today, driving increased consumer engagement and delivering highly qualified leads to customers,” Mr Wilson added.

iGUIDE currently operates throughout North America and partners closely with resellers globally. As part of the transaction, iGUIDE will establish on-the-ground sales and operations in Australia later this year, providing greater support to existing and new customers in the Australian market.

iGUIDE co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Alexander Likholyot, who will transition to a Strategic Advisor and Director role following completion, commented: “It was clear after we started discussions last year, REA was the right fit for our business and we’re delighted to be joining the Group. REA is a company with a shared vision for accurate property data and information excellence, helping property seekers and industry professionals make the most informed property decisions.”

The iGUIDE management team will be led by incoming Chief Executive Officer, Jarrad Morden, and will continue to operate under its current structure and brand.

“This is an exciting milestone for iGUIDE and an opportunity to expand our reach with the support of a global leader in digital property experiences. I’m looking forward to working with REA’s world-class team to unlock new capabilities and establish a strong presence in the Australian market,” Mr Morden said.

The proposed transaction is subject to certain conditions and is expected to complete shortly. Planitar’s financial advisor for the transaction was TD Securities Inc. and its legal advisor was Pulse Law, LLC.
