Thomas started his career in finance in the UK and qualified as an accountant but has spent more than a decade since in education, mostly in Asia. Thomas teaches DP Business Management and Economics, having also taught Mathematics, and is a Workshop Leader for the IB. Since working in international schools, Thomas has enjoyed bringing his skills in management information and business intelligence to improve data processes in schools, overseeing timetabling, MIS administration, and multi-campus implementations of new systems. In his current role as Data Lead at Shekou International School (Shenzhen, China), Thomas works within the Curriculum Leadership Team to develop internal processes to support implementation of policies and procedures and develop data analytics to drive programme improvement. He hopes that the Data-Informed Leadership community will be a space in which participants can take inspiration from each other to explore new ideas and to continue to develop existing projects.
