Dominic joined Oxford HR in 2020 as a consultant after spending 12 years working in the international education sector, accumulating a wealth of strategic leadership and education expertise. During this time Dominic led Sabre Education’s growth from micro-charity to become one of Africa’s leading early childhood education organisations, working in close partnership with the Ghanaian Ministry of Education. In the early stages of his career, Dominic worked as a consultant and programme manager for Crown Agents supporting the delivery of fiscal reform projects in Mozambique and Angola, and as a consultant to the UK Department for International Development.
At Oxford HR, Dominic’s work has focussed on the Education and Philanthropy sectors, as well as supporting organisations making a founder-CEO transition. Having completed his own founder transition upon leaving Sabre Education, this is a particular area of interest and first-hand knowledge. Thanks to his leadership roles in the non-profit sector, Dominic has strong experience of organisational development, growth strategy, impact measurement and governance, and he has worked on a range of development issues including education, water and sanitation, conflict resolution and fiscal reform. Dominic is passionate about helping purpose driven organisations to build their leadership capacity to bring about system change and transform the life chances of future generations.
Dominic speaks Spanish and Portuguese and holds a Master’s degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies. He lives in Cornwall with his wife and three children, where he recently completed the renovation and conversion of an old stone barn and is caretaking a wild apple orchard.
”I love the way Oxford HR supports meaningful conversations in the sector that go beyond our direct service delivery - for me this is part of how we 'walk our talk' on mission and purpose.
