Having began his career in law and M&A, Tom took an unconventional path to corporate leadership, transitioning from managing a law firm to becoming a senior executive, joining Reuters in 1993. He became CEO of Reuters Group plc (2001-2008), and then CEO of Thomson Reuters (2008-2011), where he guided its digital transformation, led high-profile strategic divestments, and steered an IPO during the creation of the combined entity.

In 2012, he co‑founded and currently serves as Executive Chair of BlueVoyant, a cyber‑defence pioneer, and Capitolis, an innovative capital‑markets SaaS platform. He is also a Partner at Communitas Capital, and through Angelic Ventures LP has invested across fintech, healthcare, AI, and big data.

He brings deep cross-sector expertise in:

• Global tech & cyber security – founding cyber‑defence and fintech platforms, bridging enterprise risk and data systems

• Capital markets & financial regulation – advising on governance within regulated industries at leading institutions

• Digital transformation & data strategy – leading legacy-to-digital transitions at Reuters; building data-first boardrooms

A graduate of Columbia (BA) and Yale Law (JD), Tom brings an approach defined by “a light managerial touch, zero tolerance for bad behaviour … [and] a culture of respect”.

His career—from law to media, cyber‑security, finance, and healthcare—serves as a compelling model for multi‑sector leadership, principled governance, and innovation grounded in ethical clarity.
