SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Progress Residential, the leading single-family rental management services platform in the United States, today announced Morgan Collins as the first Chief Customer Officer for Progress Residential, which also represents the first executive leadership position of its kind in the single-family rental industry. Collins' new title is effective immediately.

Collins will work alongside other members of Progress Residential's executive leadership team to advance the company's resident-centric strategies, with an eye toward continuously improving the consumer experience. Collins will help drive the strategic evolution of this work and the company's customer experience roadmap.
