Over the past 14 years, Wong has personally shaped the company’s creative vision, product direction and client experience, helping establish MAXA as one of the most recognized marketing technology brands in real estate.
In the past year, Wong led several of the company’s most significant milestones, including a major platform integration with REAL Brokerage, connecting MLS data, AI-powered automation and marketing templates into REAL’s technology ecosystem.

Wong also oversees MAXA’s 50-person research and development division, which recently launched AI content generation, automated MLS-to-marketing workflows and hyper-targeted direct mail capabilities. His focus on combining strong design principles with scalable technology has helped clients save thousands of production hours while improving adoption and consistency across marketing operations.
Beyond product innovation, Wong co-created the Exhibit Awards alongside HousingWire, the only national awards program dedicated to recognizing excellence in real estate and mortgage brand design. His leadership philosophy centers on the belief that effective marketing in real estate requires both strong technology and exceptional creative execution, a combination that continues to define MAXA’s growth and industry influence.
