Carolyn Fugere Named CEO of William Pitt Sotheby's Realty
Carolyn Fugere has been promoted to President and CEO of William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty after a multi-decade career at the firm.
William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty has appointed Carolyn Fugere as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, the Connecticut-based luxury brokerage announced Nov. 4, 2026. Executive Chairman Paul Breunich elevated Fugere from within the organization, underscoring a succession strategy built on institutional continuity rather than outside recruitment.
Fugere's ascent to the top post follows a career spanning several decades at the firm, during which she held roles as a sales advisor, brokerage manager, and most recently Chief Sales Officer. That progression through the company's operational core positions her as a leader with ground-level familiarity across both production and management functions — a profile increasingly valued in an industry navigating shifting market conditions.

By retaining Fugere's accumulated institutional knowledge, the company signals confidence in a leadership model rooted in cultural and operational consistency.
Based in Stamford, William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty operates as one of the larger affiliated brokerages within the global Sotheby's International Realty network, serving markets across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. The leadership transition takes effect under Breunich's continued oversight as Executive Chairman.
