About Samir Domah Samir spent over 15 years climbing the ladder in FMCG and data, helping brands win space on Tesco shelves and leading multi-million-pound insight and media portfolios for retailers like Booker, John Lewis and global CPGs. On paper, he had the classic "good job" story: senior roles, a growing team, and industry recognition including a Top 30 Under 40 Loyalty Royalty award. But after bad job role landed him hospital, he sought to make a change and within 12 months had become an Amazon #1 Best-Selling Author, Speaker on Men's Mental Health and taken his musings to stage with Stand Comedy. He now coaches others to make their life count.
