In 1994 Gary joined UK startup Cerberus Sound & Vision, launching the world’s first digital music download service along with the world’s first functional online credit card payment system. In 2001, after two years at BSkyB heading online product development, Gary formed Whatmusic – an online record label specialising in restoring back catalogue for the music collectors market. In the first two years the company reissued over 80 titles and helped restore careers of dozens of ‘forgotten’ artists. In 2006, Gary decided to apply his online experience to the residential real estate market in the UK, including developing creative strategies to acquire properties without the need for bank finance and selling these properties to buyers at a premium. Since the credit crisis began, Gary has been at the forefront of non-bank funded property investment. In mid 2011, Gary joined forces with Peter Lane to form the Corlan Group to further explore the non-bank funded property market and to develop an asset backed crowdfunding solution, ultimately leading to the foundation of Crowdahouse.com.

In the past I’ve been a director of the New West End Company and Chairman of the Westminster Property Association. I’m currently a director of the European Public Real Estate Association and also the President of the British Property Federation. In life outside Landsec, I’m also a trustee of the Natural History Museum.
