Greg Hindson is president, chief executive, and chief technology officer of Nortridge, the California company whose loan system manages more than $750 billion in active loans for banks, finance companies, and servicers.
A Family Loan Company
Hindson grew up in California and got his first computer, an Osborne, early. He found his work in the 1980s, when his family’s construction loan company needed to stop doing everything by hand. He wrote the program that automated it. That project set the course for a career in lending software, and he later joined Nortridge, the company Vale Nortridge had founded in 1981 to do similar work for a wider group of lenders.
He now holds three titles at once: president, chief executive, and chief technology officer. He sets the firm’s strategic direction and oversees software development, and he still enjoys solving tough coding problems in his spare time. He lives in Corona, California, with his wife, Lurean, and spends his time away from work on trail ultra-marathons, cooking, and travel.
A Long-Running System
The Nortridge Loan System covers servicing, collections, escrow, participations, and multibook accounting, and it now includes integrated origination, so a lender can run application, underwriting, servicing, and payoff in one connected platform. It manages more than $750 billion in active loans, all of its support staff work in the US, and prices start at $1,200 a month. Under Hindson the product has kept the depth that complex portfolios need, while adding origination so a lender can run more of the loan lifecycle in one place. That combination is what he has been building toward since that first construction loan system.
