In 1952, his father left the family firm, Goulandris Bros., and founded N. J. Goulandris in London.

The business is now known as Andriaki Shipping and is based in Marousi, Athens.
He married Marietta, and they had three daughters, Violanto, Maria-Lula and Alexandra. They restored the Tourlitis Lighthouse in Andros in memory of Violanto.
He died in May 2017, and was buried next to his wife in the First Cemetery of Athens.
Goulandris was a "noted but very private art collector and philanthropist".
