He also served as a judge in regional and international shows. For the last 17 years, Thomas has been earning his stripes with stints at Lowe, BBDO, Ogilvy & Mather, M&C Saatchi, 10am Communications, JWT, before his current position as Deputy Executive Creative Director / Head of Art & Design at DDB Worldwide, Singapore, the fourth largest communications network in the world with more than 200 offices across 90 countries. He has helped create works that have made DDB the most awarded Singapore agency at Cannes, D&AD, the One Show, Spikes Asia, AdFest and the Creative Circle Awards 3 years in a row. In 2012, Thomas was hailed as one of the 14 most influential Creative Directors in Singapore. But above all the accomplishments in his life and everything that can be said about him in his biography, Thomas who just turned 40 this year, firmly believes he will never be prouder to say that he is a father of two lovely daughters - the Grand Prix of his life.
