Business wise, he is reported to admire Jack Cowin who was responsible for bringing the brand Hungry Jacks to Australia and overcame struggles to do so to become one of Australia’s most successful business men.

When his family arrived in Australia they needed a lot of help from charities such as St Vincent De Paul which made him believe in giving back. With this in mind, he formed the Lyone Foundation in 2013 with a commitment to contribute 15% of COS profits each year to help Australians facing challenging times. So far COS has contributed $3 million to the Lyone Foundation in 3 years.

In 1976, he and a colleague set up their own company, Complete Office Supplies (COS). The company began trading in Parramatta in a tiny room about 3m x 3m. A year later, he bought his business partner out and continued running COS on his own. In the 1980s, COS employed 15-20 people and Dom borrowed his father’s retirement money to expand the business into retail. By negotiating with suppliers he managed to survive some tough financial times.
