GRE Portfolios | About us | Corporate Team

Gabriel Kassir

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

With a degree in Engineering from Oxford and a MSc in Simulation & Control from Manchester in 1982, Gabriel pursued a career in Business Consultancy, advising wealthy individuals and family businesses on short and long term strategic decisions. He founded Oxford Academy of Management in 1997. The majority of his clients are international clients who want to make London a base for their business. Gabriel recognised that many of his clients required a closer working partnership in real estate development and that the younger members of wealthy families are looking to manage their own real estate investment portfolios. GRE Portfolios was formed to allow individuals to invest as little as £20k and up to £15m. It also allows its members to buy and sell directly to each other (online soon); and for the larger investors GRE Portfolios provide them with their own private fund.
