The journey of the entrepreneur – David Cunningham
Born in Ireland in 1976 - David initially started his career in JPMorgan London in 1999 and later in JPMorgan Asia until 2002. There he learnt the important people, risk management and communication skills that served him well in later years.
David pioneered into the emerging market of China where he founded the multi award winning real estate investment company "Shanghai Vision Ltd" in 2002. In just 11 months Shanghai Vision Ltd had sales offices in Ireland, UK and Australia. The headquarters in Shanghai, which included a mortgage broking division, facilitated the sale of over 600 residential apartments to individual non-Chinese investors.
In 2005 “Shanghai Vision Ltd” was successfully sold in a MBO (Management Buy Out) for an undisclosed sum.
David then founded and continues to manage to this day a rental and property management company in Shanghai, SVAM, with over USD184 million AUM (Assets Under Management).
In June 2008, David moved into the travel industry by founding an ecommerce company, www.ourexplorer.com . OurExplorer was built up to be the #1 private tour guide website in the world and subsequently purchased by the Carlyle Group in the USA through Viator Inc. in October 2010.
David now lives in Australia where he features in business publications such as "Secrets of Top Sales Professionals Exposed" and "The power of more than one". He seeks to invest in and work with some exciting early stage growth companies in Sydney.
