Jeffery Hartman

Institutional Debt Market Architect

I build the systems lenders use to win. I turn bad debt into cash for banks, credit unions, and fintechs. My job is simple: I move risk off your books and put capital back in your vault.

(Industry known as “The Don of Debt”)

Confidentiality. Integrity. Results.
AI-Driven AR Strategy Leader

Have a Vision?
Let’s Engineer Reality.

Calling all Tech Companies entering the Accounts Receivable space, Bank VPs needing a liquidity engine, and Debt Collectors with a concept that breaks the mold.

You don't need another consultant who just talks theory. You need a builder. I am an Institutional Loan Sale Advisor by day, but a Tech Architect by night. I bridge the gap between financial compliance and code.

If you have the idea, I have the blueprint.
