Mal has twenty-five years’ history of creating technology products for property professionals. One of the launch team at Primelocation.com in 2000, leaving only after its £48m exit, he was then the first, pre-revenue Sales Director at Zoopla when it launched in 2008, driving its initial multi-million-dollar ARR.
Having since run a successful consultancy for startup / scaleup proptech businesses, he launched ModelProp AI in 2023, focused on harnessing AI to help property professionals win more market share and improve productivity.
