Automating Lending Advice Without Losing the Human Touch with Geoff Christopher

Automating Lending Advice Without Losing the Human Touch with Geoff Christopher

Geoff Christopher is a financial advisor and co-founder of Afterburner, a rapidly growing AI platform that automates the admin-heavy parts of mortgage and lending advice so advisers can focus on real client conversations and outcomes.

He brings a wealth of cross-industry experience spanning banking, regulatory consulting, luxury retail, and financial advisory which has cultivated a drive to innovate within the financial services landscape.


We discuss:


· Built by advisors for advisors: becoming a tech entrepreneur alongside being a financial advisor


· Data / security / regulation / compliance: the complexity of working in the fintech space in NZ


· For both advisors and their clients, what should be handled by humans versus offloaded to AI?
