Director, Growth & PartnershipsPrivate Lending Group
Grant Hartley leads growth and partnerships at Private Lending Group.
His background is in search and aggregation: how large platforms organise information so the right people find each other. He was involved in the rollout of Google's business platform across Australia and New Zealand, and has been invited by local governments across Australia to speak on Google's platforms, aggregation and the opportunities they open up for business.
Over the past decade he has worked across finance, property and advisory businesses, alongside brokers, real estate agents, advisers and lenders, and has seen first-hand how each part of the market operates and where it struggles to connect.
At PLG he is applying aggregation modelling to private lending, bringing lender, broker and borrower information together in a structured way so the market can work from better data. It's a different approach for a sector that has largely relied on phone calls and individual relationships.
He writes about how the private lending market works, where it's heading, and how borrowers, brokers and lenders can overcome its blind spots through better transparency and connection.
