Doug Ithier
CEO and Founder
Doug began his career as a professional footballer, an experience that shaped his character and instilled the discipline, resilience, and leadership that would later define his business journey.
Transitioning from sport to entrepreneurship, Doug has spent the past two decades building a substantial track record in executive management, business ownership, and strategic leadership. He has successfully operated multiple companies, each reflecting his vision, commercial acumen, and ability to execute under pressure.

Doug’s strengths include negotiation, capital raising, and securing funding for projects both locally and internationally.
With extensive experience in the sale and marketing of investment property, project marketing of new apartments, joint‑venture development, and development consultancy, Doug has worked closely with developers across all stages of the project lifecycle—pricing, capital raising, marketing strategy, and sales deployment. His career has taken him across Australia, Dubai, Malaysia, and Singapore, giving him valuable international property insight.
Following his sporting career, Doug pursued his passion for property, achieving significant success in project sales and marketing. He has personally sold over half a billion dollars’ worth of property and contributed to the marketing of more than $3.5 billion in developments.

He holds a current Triennial Certificate as a licensed Real Estate & Business Agent and has completed a Diploma of Property through the Real Estate Institute of WA (REIWA).
From the football field to the boardroom, Doug’s journey is defined by transition, determination, and sustained success—driven by the same passion and work ethic that shaped his early career.
