Dominic Gardiner

Dominic Gardiner is the CEO and co-founder of Jetpack Distribution Ltd, the kids-and-family outfit he launched in 2014 with Samka Productions. In ten years he has turned Jetpack into a go-to supplier for channels and streamers, moving titles such as:

  • Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed

  • Moley

  • Clangers

  • Wolf

  • Critters TV

  • Talking Tom & Friends

  • Mechamato

  • Kitty Is Not a Cat

Before Jetpack, Gardiner logged front-line experience in London and Tokyo: Director of Acquisitions at The Walt Disney Company and Channel Manager for Cartoon Network at Turner Broadcasting. The result is a practical grasp of how global deals actually get done—acquisition, scheduling, production workflows, marketing, digital roll-out and P&L alike.

That mix of hands-on and board-level work has helped him push several kids’ brands into genuine international play rather than one-season wonders.
