Chief Executive Officer

Russell Brennan

Russell originally hails from Queensland but apparently, that was a long time ago.

Having spent 25+ years in financial services and 20 years as CEO of niche commercial financiers, Russell has long been focussing on the needs of small and mid sized borrowers which have been constantly underserved by the banks during this period.

Not one for tolerating traffic jams, Russell rides a scooter to work from Sydney’s Tamarama beach where his eclectic hobbies include ocean swimming and beekeeping.

Andrew Harju

Andrew graduated from Sydney University with a BEc (he say’s a very long time ago) and started working in property and business finance, mainly because his parents thought he’d make a terrible Architect.

Having worked with all of the big 4 banks in senior property related roles, these days he much prefers originating new opportunities for Peer Estate. 

Andrew who originally hails from Scandinavia and loves to travel to exotic places, lives at Sydney’s Manly Beach, is married to his childhood sweetheart and has 2 adult daughters who still won’t leave home.

He thinks Manly is a much better beach than Bondi.
