Dominic’s journey began at university, where a chance meeting with future business partner Steven Bartlett sparked a transformative collaboration. Together, they dropped out to launch what would become one of the UK’s most talked-about marketing ventures. This bold decision marked the beginning of a unique and unconventional career path. Forging ahead without traditional credentials, Dominic built his expertise through hands-on experience, eventually leading the operational side of Social Chain and helping to shape its distinctive culture and business strategy.

Over a six-year period, Dominic steered Social Chain’s expansion to 24 global offices with a team of over 750 employees, working with elite clients such as Apple, Amazon, McDonald’s, and the BBC. In 2019, he and Steven took the company public at a £300 million valuation, before Dominic exited in 2020. He then co-founded Fearless Adventures, a growth partner and investment firm focused on scaling entrepreneur-led e-commerce brands. As Founding Partner, Dominic applies his operational and leadership expertise to mentor emerging founders. In 2021, he was appointed Policy Fellow at the UK Cabinet Office, advising on digital communications. His commitment to digital education led to the creation of Basecamp Skills (formerly The Fearless Academy) in 2022, offering award-winning digital bootcamps. In 2024, Dominic released his debut book,‘I’m Never Drinking Again’, a candid exploration of his journey to sobriety, which followed his appearance in the BAFTA-nominated documentary ‘Hollyoaks in Real Life’.

Organisations consistently turn to Dominic for his inspiring storytelling, thought leadership, and hard-earned wisdom. His talks explore topics such as entrepreneurship, mental health, sobriety, digital innovation, and culture building - all of which are increasingly vital in today’s rapidly evolving world. Dominic’s ability to speak with vulnerability and authority makes him a powerful voice for positive change in both business and life.
