On this week’s The Big Picture, Patrick O’Brien, CEO and co-founder of LenderLogix, joins the show to talk about what it really takes to build technology that lenders actually love using. A former loan officer turned fintech founder, Patrick brings 15 years of frontline mortgage experience to his mission of creating smarter, simpler tools for lenders, loan officers, and real estate agents.
We dig into the evolution of borrower expectations, how automation can enhance rather than replace human connection, and what’s next for mortgage technology as the industry moves toward digital maturity. With a product-first mindset and a grounded understanding of lender pain points, Patrick offers a sharp, real-world perspective on innovation, customer experience, and the future of origination.
