After 3 years of military service, I trained as a COBOL computer programmer which ultimately opened the doors to my career in the property industry. I evolved from selling houses to commercial & industrial broking and then learnt how to add value to the opportunities I was finding by working with clients and strategic venture participants. Conceptualising and implementing new strategies for investors to maximise their post tax returns enabled me to grow a commercial portfolio I was proud of and I was involved in many high profile landmark transactions.In partnership with Grinaker Construction, I was awarded the tender to develop the Bellville Velodrome into a covered multi-purpose stadium which was a pre-condition for South Africa to bid for the Olympic games. Other projects included converting an Edgars warehouse into a banking and retail hub and developing an industrial property into a new home for Cape Talk radio and others.
Listed skills include Commercial Real Estate, Entrepreneurship, Investments, Start Ups, and 10 others.
