Brad Hagstrom will be promoted to a joint chief executive position, taking on the day-to-day operations of the platform.

Founder and current chief executive Neil Roberts will concentrate on new channels, markets and other strategic growth opportunities.

Chairman Rob Campbell says: “Brad and Neil are a proven and winning team. Having joint CEOs at this stage in Harmoney’s development is the right thing and will help us achieve our goals more quickly. Harmoney is a young, fast growing company. We have a need for capital in all forms; including funding from retail and wholesale investors to lend via the platform and equity contributions for working capital as we grow.

“Neil’s profile and track record is a strong selling point in the Harmoney story. We are growing so quickly on multiple fronts; sharing the CEO duties between Neil and Brad means we push forward in all areas at once."

Hagstrom will be responsible for the company’s day-to-day operations, ensuring that Harmoney meet its targets. He will focus on credit, data and risk; three elements critical to the efficient and successful running of the marketplace.

Completing the trio of executive announcements is the appointment of Monica Mathis as general manager of sales and marketing, Australasia.
