Dom founded, and ran, one of the world's first 'Digital First' talent management companies - Gleam Futures in 2010. The business grew to be the market leader across three global offices in London, LA and Sydney and led the way in terms of the professionalisation of digital first talent and the growth of influencer marketing. After the business was successfully acquired by media giant, Dentsu Inc, Dom exited Gleam in 2020. He is now interested in the growing economy around subscription platforms for creators. As well as advising and sitting on various boards in the creator industry, Dom has helped co-found The Glo Project; a new network to help, protect and grow subscription platform creators mainly on OnlyFans.
He is a visionary and a pioneer and one of the most interesting people I know.
