About me

Hi, I’m Gary!

I work at Stripe as an Engineering Manager, where I am helping to increase the GDP of the internet, by improving the reliability of our Local Payment Methods.

I previously worked at Zalando as a Head of Engineering, where I led an engineering department within our Platform Strategy - helping to create a connected fashion world.

Before Zalando, I worked at Lonely Planet leading a cross-functional engineering team who were responsible for the development and operations of the authoring and editing platform that powers the core content for guidebooks and digital. If you read Lonely Planet guidebooks, then the content that you read has passed through our platform.

Before Lonely Planet, I was co-founder and CTO of PropelAd, an ecommerce technology company. PropelAd used web & email first party data to power lifecycle remarketing campaigns for brands and online retailers. Our customers could target browsers who abandoned carts, engaged visitors, unengaged visitors, specific product viewers or nurture their existing customers with ease. We were one of the first Irish companies to become a Facebook PMD (preferred marketing developer) for Insights and Analytics.
