About

Dominic oversees day-to-day operations at Samara Alpha and is integral in all investment decisions. I spent the first half of my career assessing default risk and looking for investment opportunities across capital structures. I learned to seek out opportunities with asymmetric risk/reward profiles while on a structured credit trading desk. I have been devising tools and strategies to source investments with high optionality ever since.
