Gerard Burg is joining property data analysis company Cotality from National Australia Bank (NAB), where he worked as a senior economist specialising in international economic research, with a focus on emerging markets such as China.
Burg will be responsible for leading the company’s research program, including publications, data-based analysis, media commentary, and client briefings focused on housing and broader economic trends.
Burg has more than 20 years of experience across the private sector and government, with a background in macroeconomics, industry analysis, and energy policy.
Cotality research director Tim Lawless said Burg’s experience would support the company’s research coverage of housing and rental markets.
“Gerard’s ability to connect macroeconomic forces with on-the-ground property dynamics will be crucial for the Australian market. His track record in research adds invaluable context to our housing and rental narratives,” Lawless said.
“We’re excited to welcome Gerard to the team. Alongside our researchers, he’ll help advance Cotality’s mission to deliver timely, accurate and engaging insights for media, clients and policymakers across Australia.”
Burg holds bachelor’s degrees in economics (honours) and commerce from the Australian National University and is a seasoned media commentator.
Formerly CoreLogic, Cotality is a major data, analytics, and technology company that provides property insights and data analysis for the real estate, finance, government, and insurance sectors.
In September 2025, Cotality appointed Flint Group CEO Christian Stevens to the newly created position of broker ambassador, as part of a plan to deepen relationships with brokers and invest in broker tools.
