He later became a partner at Mourant, shaping financial services with his innovative approach to the legal sector. Dominic held CEO and group board positions with leading fund administrators and has since worked with numerous companies, including private equity fund sponsor Nordic Capital and Ravenscroft, whereas Chair, he played a key role in the successful sale of Ravenscroft’s wealth management business to Titan Wealth in 2024.
An accidental restaurateur, Dominic also co-owns JPRestaurants with his brother, bringing his entrepreneurial spirit to the culinary world. His ability to seamlessly blend diverse industries showcases his versatility and forward-thinking mindset.
Dominic is married with five children and cherishes time spent with his wife, family, and friends in wild nature.
