Caliber Announces CFO Transition
SCOTTSDALE, AZ, June 5, 2026 – Caliber (Nasdaq: CWD), a diversified real estate and digital asset management platform, today announced that Jade Leung will step down as Chief Financial Officer to pursue a new opportunity, capping an eleven-year tenure during which he built Caliber’s finance organization and helped lead the Company through its initial public offering. Mr. Leung will support an orderly transition. The change is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, accounting policies, practices, or financial reporting. Caliber reaffirms the full-year 2026 guidance issued on its first quarter 2026 earnings call, and the transition does not affect the Company’s strategy or financial outlook.
Caliber also announced the appointment of Michael Rosales as Acting Chief Financial Officer, effective June 14th, 2026. Having overseen the Company’s accounting, financial reporting, and tax functions for several years, Mr. Rosales brings extensive knowledge of Caliber’s financial operations and is well positioned to ensure continuity during the transition. Mr. Rosales joined Caliber in October 2020 and has advanced through a series of leadership roles of increasing responsibility, including Director of Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting, Corporate Controller, and most recently Senior Vice President of Accounting, Financial Reporting & Tax, a position he has held since April 2025. Prior to joining Caliber, Mr. Rosales spent 16 years in public accounting, serving in audit and assurance roles of increasing responsibility, including Senior Manager at Grant Thornton. He also held positions at PwC and Deloitte. Mr. Rosales is a Certified Public Accountant and earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Arizona State University.
“Jade has been a trusted partner and a steady leader during Caliber’s evolution from a private company, through our IPO, to the public company we are today. He built our finance team and our reporting foundation which is poised to continue to execute well. On behalf of the Board and the entire team, I thank Jade for almost eleven years of dedicated service and wish him every success in his next chapter,” said Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber. “Michael has been instrumental to our accounting and reporting for years, and I have full confidence in him as Acting CFO. Caliber’s Board and I are taking a disciplined approach to identifying the right finance leader for Caliber’s next phase of growth.”
The Caliber Board of Directors has commenced a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer to lead the next phase of the Company’s growth. Caliber is seeking a finance leader with depth in capital formation and fundraising, real estate fund and project finance, public-company finance, and the execution of Caliber’s digital asset and tokenization strategy. This profile aligns directly with Caliber’s expansion toward a real and digital asset platform and market leader in tokenization of real estate funds. The Board intends to conduct a thoughtful and disciplined search and will consider both internal and external candidates.
