Logan Hall is Co-founder and CMO at Movebubble, a disrupter in the property rental space.

Logan has always had a hard time going along with the status quo and has found more solace in mischief and play than toeing the line. From being expelled as a school kid when he was 17 to still being found skating with his homies on a Friday evening after work at 33. He understands business is merely socialising with a purpose, and so believes his leadership role is about finding and uniting people on a common path with a singular goal and in helping them achieve their own personal goals. A self-confessed learning addict he builds a culture that is geared toward personal and organisational learning, freedom to fail, and take risks. In short, Logan likes trouble and will go find it where he can – both professionally and personally. He really does believe that life is a gradual release from ignorance and is happy so long as he is less ignorant today than he was yesterday!
