Digital Talent Management Pioneer Dominic Smales Steps Down As CEO Of Gleam Futures
Dominic Smales, the founder of U.K.-based digital talent management firm
Gleam Futures and a key architect behind the careers of several of
YouTube‘s earliest stars, including the
Pixiwoo sisters,
Marcus Butler is stepping down from his post as CEO, effectively immediately.
“Eleven years ago, with Costa Coffee as my office, I founded a talent business,” Smales said in a statement. “Over the years, we have published books, made movies, built brands, traveled the world, opened offices on three continents, made TV shows, broken records, laughed a lot, cried a bit, and everything in between. It’s been a joy and a privilege to be allowed to do all this with people I love spending time with.”
