Thomas is the leadership team member responsible for stewardship of GreenLight’s reputation - and that of RNA itself - through engagement with a wide range of crucial external stakeholders, including investors, partners, governments, customers and the general public.

Immediately prior to GreenLight Thomas brought The Commons Project Foundation, a non-profit, tech-for-good startup, to global prominence in media coverage worldwide for its high-profile, multi-stakeholder digital initiatives to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Prior to that, Thomas launched, scaled and led a range of global agency teams of up to 1,000+ staff across 73 offices worldwide. These teams focussed on consulting or execution of digital transformation, marketing, social media and communications out of Ogilvy & Mather, Ogilvy Consulting and Edelman. Clients included MSD Merck, Philips, McKinsey, Nestlé, Samsung and many more.
