In the Press
Dr. Adam Gower is among the most widely cited practitioners at the intersection of artificial intelligence and commercial real estate. With more than 30 years of principal-level CRE experience, over $1.5 billion in transactions, and a doctorate in banking risk mitigation, he founded GowerCrowd to help commercial real estate investment firms implement AI across the full deal lifecycle - from sourcing and underwriting through capital formation and exit.
His work has been published in WealthManagement.com / National Real Estate Investor, NAIOP Development Magazine, BiggerPockets, Bisnow, Forbes, and the Institutional Real Estate Investor. He has authored six books including with Palgrave Macmillan and Routledge, appeared as a featured expert in a Netflix documentary series, and spoken at industry conferences on AI adoption in commercial real estate.
GowerCrowd's weekly newsletter reaches more than 30,000 commercial real estate professionals. Its podcast has produced more than 350 episodes featuring live AI demos with the founders building technology for the industry.
