About
What Moves Her® was introduced in 2020 to help women in the real estate industry develop their leadership skills and realize their professional development goals.
Launched as a campaign for women leaders by Sue Yannaccone, President & Chief Executive Officer, Anywhere Brands, What Moves Her aims to inspire and support all women to find their path to leadership and business success in real estate. In its first year, a launch event and ongoing Coldwell Banker virtual conversation series, Portraits of What Moves Her, helped guide more than 5,000 women and provided them with tools and strategies to help them continue achieving success in their personal and professional lives.
What Moves Her has significantly moved the needle with what has been accomplished… but our exciting work has just begun. The commitment to support and educate women real estate professionals industry-wide will continue to drive What Moves Her to help more women grow through leadership programs, tools and resources, workshops, events, and more.
Yannaccone is recognized for her nearly two decades of deep expertise in franchise management and real estate brokerage operations. Since March 2018, she served as Regional Executive Vice President of the Eastern Seaboard and Midwest regions of Coldwell Banker Realty. Prior to that, Yannaccone joined ERA as its Chief Operating Officer in July 2015 before moving to its President and Chief Executive Officer in September 2016.
A strong believer in accountability and authenticity, Yannaccone possesses a keen understanding of the residential real estate industry and has extensive experience leading organizations through transformational change.
