Sebastien Thomas
Global Marketing Manager , Platinum Guild International
Having gathered both top local and global marketing expertise over the past 10 years, i'm a reliable and dedicated marketer always looking for the bigger picture.
I have a passion for brand and company building, hence why i look further than marketing and enjoy cross-functional roles and projects.
I believe that the role of marketing is very vast and broader than it seems. It can play a very powerful and inspiring role within a company and to better understand the world we live in through consumers.
My purpose is to make a difference from a business perspective but also from a human perspective. I genuinely believe in helping others or a team develop to reach their full potential and higher confidence with an open-mind and humility. This is how you build for a greater good.
The diversity of people's backgrounds and nationalities is also a strong driver for generating new ideas and building stronger solutions.
