He has 20 years of experience in the sports marketing industry, having successfully built two international sports marketing agencies.
In 1992 he established the international football department of Ufa Sports, today known as Sportfive, which he developed to become market
leader in Europe.
Thomas was responsible for signing exclusive and worldwide media and marketing rights contracts with some 100 European football clubs and 20 European football federations.
In 1996 he founded Global Sportnet, another leading agency in the industry. He sold 30% of the company to Apax Partners in 1999 and subsequently 100% to WPP Group plc in 2002.
As CEO within WPP over the following seven years, he created several joint ventures with other leading WPP communications services agencies in Asia, the Middle East and London.
The business subsequently diversified and expanded into other sports and the music-based entertainment sector.
In 2009 Thomas established Triumph Media Group as a leading sports and entertainment marketing and consultancy enterprise with a different, transparent, innovative and, most importantly, integrated approach to the market.
