Partner at Vertex Ventures. We're a boutique fund that invests early (often the first!) in enterprising founders who make it possible for new applications and services to be born.
I've always believed the journey of building meaningful, authentic, and long-lasting relationships, is the most important foundational element of building a successful profession and thriving business. One of my favorite authors and speakers, Esther Perel, says it best: "The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives." I joined Vertex US in 2019 to build a foundation of quality relationships and help our early-stage founders accelerate their growth thoughtfully.
Before Vertex US, I spent two years as Director of Business Development at Dropbox, leading a global team responsible for product ecosystem partnerships, go-to-market, and distribution partnerships.
I was Tesla's Global Head of M&A Integration in 2017, leading integration planning and execution of Grohmann Automation's 700 employees on-site in Germany. In 2015, I became VP of Business Development at Flashpoint, a leader in cybersecurity intelligence.
I enjoyed a long tenure at Juniper Networks, where I held several strategic leadership roles. In my final role as Senior Director of Corporate Development, I was responsible for mergers and acquisitions and partnerships. Before this, I held senior roles at Caymas (acquired by Citrix), and Internet Security Systems (IPO then acquired by IBM for $1.3B).
My tech journey began at BRAK Systems, working closely with our founder, Robert Herjavec of ABC's "Shark Tank", where we pioneered enterprise cybersecurity in Canada and were acquired by AT&T Canada.
Originally from Toronto, I spent the early part of my tech career in NYC, before moving to San Francisco in 2006, where I still live.

Dom is a big picture thinker who understands value of relationship and collaboration to make things happen. We worked together at Dropbox to drive adoption of partner ecosystem when he demonstrated a unique ability to lead and execute across organizations. I really enjoyed working with Dom and hope our paths cross again.

Domenic worked with us to solution access methods in support of a large merger we had just started. He was the primary reason we chose to go with a relatively unknown company and he remains a trusted advisor.
