Joe Dormani at Thomson Reuters Ventures leads a deliberately M&A-aware venture strategy, spending significant time on companies that could become strong acquisition targets for Thomson Reuters and using investments and partnerships to explore fit before potential acquisitions. He serves as a bridge between Canadian AI startups and Thomson Reuters, making early concentrated bets on Canadian AI/ML companies while positioning himself as the public explainer of how TR Ventures operates and as a connector in AI ecosystems focused on professional services like law, tax, and accounting.
