About Thomas

I believe the most powerful brand stories in beauty stem from science and proof. The job is to make it feel as urgent, human, and culturally fluent as it is clinically true.
Over 15 years, I've led brand strategy, creative strategy, and content for some of the most credentialed names in skincare and beauty: Cetaphil, SkinCeuticals, CeraVe, Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, Nexxus across APAC, North America, and Europe. I specialise in brands where the product truth is real but the story hasn't fully caught up with it yet.
My work sits at the intersection of strategic clarity and creative edge. I develop brand positioning, campaign platforms, and content systems that connect dermatological rigour with genuine consumer desire to increase share of influence (brand love) and bottom line (brand ROI).
Fluent in English and French. Lived and worked across Southeast Asia, North America and Europe.
