Helping large organisations to be platforms for innovation and impact
Often start-ups struggle to get to scale. Large organisations are often disrupted by new organisations. Collaboration between start-ups and large corporates is key for fostering innovation.

Dominic has unique experiences across corporate innovation and corporate social innovation including:
