Born and raised in South Africa, Gary completed a BA (Law) and his Articles in Law in 1985. From 1985 to 1997 he was employed by local and international oil companies, responsible for the redevelopment of existing — and development of new — retail service station properties.
He then became shareholder of a company that acquired 25 service station properties, sold to a local oil company in 2002. In 2004 he established Terra Optimus Property Developments, bringing over 35 years of experience in securing and developing service station properties for corporates and his own portfolio.

From South Africa, now based in Slovenia, Jarrod focuses on identifying and building high-potential business opportunities — actively exploring ventures, franchising and scalable business models within the local market.
He is also involved in the family property development business, with hands-on experience building and growing long-term assets. Driven by execution, innovation and sustainable wealth — always open to new opportunities and meaningful collaborations.
