In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Gabby Leibovich, Co founder of Catch, the business he and his brother started in 2006 from a garage in Melbourne and sold in 2019 for 230 million dollars. Gabby studied a Computer Science degree in pre internet days, but it was a passion for retail that really inspired his business career and led him to become an Australian eCommerce pioneer. A natural storyteller, Gabby chats about his experiences from the early days of Catch, selling one deal every day at midday. He shares his tips on finding great buying opportunities, tells us what informs his own unique brand of gut feeling and gives us the inside story on why he and his brother work so well together.
