About Dom

Formerly an advertising executive with nearly two decades of experience across three continents, I specialized in identifying and capitalizing on market opportunities to spur growth, customer engagement, and immersive brand experiences. I recently caught the startup bug and after having managed an acqui-hire with my previous growth marketing agency, I am now building a gig-economy marketplace where we aim to revolutionize how people work and earn a side income. In my spare time, I'm an avid trail runner, hiker, dog dad and I'm a massive film, TV and music buff.

Company

We are a gig economy platform that connects people based on personalities, skills and tasks via an AI engine. We utilize elements of social to bring back the human element into the gig economy industry where we believe everyone and anyone deserves a chance to make money from either a passion, skill or a hobby. We are on a mission to break the 9 to 5 routine.
