Dominic and I worked together at Stafford Capital Partners through our interactions on the ESG Committee, of which I was Chair for 3 years. He has the unusual combination of big picture vision with technical skills and detail. He is an excellent communicator, is an ethical and moral person with integrity, and someone who can be trusted. Dominic is a leader and innovator but also a team player and is collaborative. I would define him as someone with a growth mindset rather than fixed and narrow thinking. I highly recommend Dominic as a partner to work with, you will enjoy and benefit from the experience.
