Anthony Pompliano Publicly Invites Opendoor's 'New Leader' for Interview Amidst Strategic Repositioning

Prominent investor and entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano has publicly extended an invitation for a recorded interview to "Shrisha," identified in his recent social media post as the new leader of Opendoor Technologies ($OPEN). This public overture, made on X (formerly Twitter), seeks to engage with the company's leadership and address the "passionate people excited to help build an incredible business." While Pompliano's tweet refers to "Shrisha," publicly available information and recent reports, including one from August 12, 2025, indicate that Carrie Wheeler continues to serve as Opendoor's Chief Executive Officer, with Pompliano himself having previously invited Wheeler for a recorded discussion.

Pompliano, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency and finance sectors, recently disclosed his investment in Opendoor, contributing to the real estate technology company's significant stock volatility and "meme stock" status. He has expressed belief in the power of retail investors to influence a company's trajectory through capital, attention, and insights. His public engagement with Opendoor's leadership follows a period of heightened retail investor interest in the company.

Opendoor Technologies, which went public in 2020, operates primarily through an iBuying model, purchasing homes directly from sellers and then reselling them. The company faced considerable challenges in 2022 due to rising interest rates, leading to a potential delisting from Nasdaq. Under CEO Carrie Wheeler, Opendoor has been working to reposition its strategy, moving beyond just flipping houses to offer homeowners a broader range of selling options, including its "Cash Plus" product and integrating real estate agents into its process.

The company reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $23 million in its second-quarter 2025 results, surpassing analyst estimates. Pompliano's call for an interview, regardless of the specific individual he is addressing, underscores the growing influence of public figures and retail communities in corporate affairs. His tweet, stating "Let's give the people what they want, Shrisha," highlights a desire for transparency and direct communication with stakeholders as Opendoor navigates its strategic future.
