Thomas is the Executive Vice President of Edibles.com, leading the launch, strategy, and infrastructure development of the groundbreaking new brand. Since joining the team at Edible Brands, his focus has been building an innovative, new marketplace concept at the intersection of THC products and the reach of last-mile commerce through the Edible Arrangements delivery fleet and beyond.

Thomas's career has been defined by his ability to navigate the complexities of regulated industries while driving creative, consumer-centric strategies. Starting at award-winning agencies in New York City, he honed his expertise in pharmaceutical advertising, where he mastered regulatory compliance paired with engaging storytelling. This skill set translated seamlessly into roles across industries such as alcohol (Rémy Martin), consumer packaged goods (Under Armour), and cannabis (Theory Wellness and Hi5 Beverages).

During his tenure in the cannabis industry, Thomas helped grow the largest independent, vertically integrated company on the East Coast. He built a high-performance marketing team, developed a portfolio of best-in-class products, and launched retail locations across seven states—including the first-ever beverage dispensary. Now, he's channeling this vision and expertise into the burgeoning hemp category on a national scale with Edibles.com.

A recognized thought leader and tastemaker, Thomas has shared his insights on the future of the cannabis and THC industries through major publications and speaking engagements. Outside of his professional endeavors, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Liz, and their two children, River and Betty. An avid tennis player, reader, and film enthusiast, Thomas balances a dynamic career with a rich personal life.
