Dominic Lozano is a top-notch business mind with an extraordinary ability to quickly see the big picture and provide actionable steps to achieve company goals. He is an intelligent, measured executive who listens intently and speaks with purpose. Having had the privilege to work side by side with him for 6 years and build a company from start-up to $50+ million, I can attest to the quality of his executive-level direction. His counsel is second to none and his no-nonsense approach to everyday business challenges is refreshing and applicable across all industries.
I had the opportunity to work with Dominic for several years while he was the GM of ShipWorks. As we looked to launch the Auctane North America High Volume initiative, we knew Dominic would be the right person to drive us as we defined the opportunity, built the team, and, ultimately, launched this new product. To be successful, Dominic needed to understand not only the logistics required for warehouses and other large shippers, but also how to leverage our existing software to expand our market opportunity. The ability to resolve this complexity in a timely manner is just one of the reasons I'd work with Dominic any chance I could.
In a time when understanding technology and people are paramount in a C-Level executive, Dominic Lozano excels at both.
Dominic was a valued and highly respected member of one of my Vistage Key Executive Groups while a Senior VP at Contegix. He not only made the world of rapidly changing technology more comprehensible his leadership of highly talented people was both remarkable and instructive.
Dominic will make a significant contribution at any company that he chooses to serve.
Dominic Lozano is a bold and methodical leader with a proven track record of success. When I hired him to lead ShipWorks, the business was facing a number of challenges, with the largest being ShipWork’s on-premises solution in a space migrating to the cloud. Without an option to leverage the cloud (due to the parent company’s portfolio), Dominic deftly repositioned the brand and solution to target the warehouse segment, which continued to invest in on-prem and had far greater capacity to invest thus paving the way for revenue growth.
Dominic is detail-oriented, gets his hands dirty, and takes the time to fully understand the business. He assessed the talent, shifted the culture, and rallied the team to return ShipWorks to growth. He is an excellent communicator and naturally builds relationships and trust – across customers, partners, and employees. And he is not afraid to put the hours in to get the outcomes!
I worked with Dominic for 5 years over the course of multiple organizational changes including a matrix redesign, positional changes, and a public-to-private VC acquisition. He always championed doing the right thing and has been an exceptional friend, mentor, and leader. I am confident in saying I would not have been elevated to the place I was to be able to handle that professional turbulence, without Dominic by my side.
During the five years I worked with Dominic at Contegix, I witnessed firsthand his operational expertise and leadership. While I managed finance, Dominic led the operations team where he effectively drove strategic planning and operational execution. Under his leadership, Contegix grew nearly tenfold over a period of only a few years. Managing a team of skilled IT professionals, he demonstrated his adeptness at selecting talent and implementing core systems and metrics that were essential to the success of the business. It is clear that Dominic has well-developed playbooks for building great businesses.
What's also notable about Dominic is his ability to set clear expectations, maintain accountability, and foster a strong sense of trust and loyalty within his team. These qualities were instrumental in achieving not only great and sustainable results but also in building a cohesive and motivated team culture. I firmly believe Dominic's leadership was a key factor in Contegix's growth and its successful private equity exit.
As a key member of the senior leadership team, Dominic skillfully steered through the maze of acquiring a portfolio business, making the leap from a publicly-traded company to a private one, and blending different brands, teams, and areas of expertise. Even when faced with unending challenges and shifts, Dominic's unwavering focus, empathetic understanding, and sense of responsibility shone through, leading his teams to real and meaningful progress.
