In a partner’s words
I haven’t met anyone better at building deep relationships than Dom. It used to frustrate me because I'm weirdly competitive that way and whenever I met someone new, they'd already know Dom, and I knew I was about to be compared to him.
I watched him handle CEO and VP turnover above him eight times while he kept the ship steady as Director of Sales.
He was the leader without the title. And when he finally got the title, things fell into place.
Dom made the tough calls when they needed to be made. He talked down upset clients, made room for the quiet people on the team whose voices needed to be heard, and was the person everyone went to for advice.
Dom has been my colleague, mentor, men's league golf partner, road warrior, friend, and now business partner.
I can't wait for you to get to know him.
