Ep 68 Steve Hearn CEO Corant Global: One broker, many brands

Today’s guest is a broking CEO on an ambitious mission to grow
global revenues many times with the backing of a strategic owner.


That may sound familiar to regular listeners, but Steve Hearn of
Corant Global is going about things quite differently.


At a time when most broker holding companies are at pains to hive
up all their underlying brands into an overarching global brand
identity, Steve is allowing multiple broking houses to flourish
under the newly-minted Corant banner.


A veteran of senior executive positions at large and small
brokers alike, Steve now runs a holding company and not an
operational broking business.  


This means he isn’t bogged down or distracted by the day to day
and has the job of thinking strategically about where broking in
our market is going in the short, medium and long term and
positioning Corant accordingly. 


Corant also has a different sort of owner – the capital markets
focused BGC and ultimately the Cantor Fitzgerald group.


And the influence of this different variant of financial services
culture is highly noticeable.


And that’s what makes this podcast special.


Rarely have I had such a focused conversation on what is
happening in the broking landscape and where things are headed.
