The ability to recognize overlooked opportunities, especially businesses that can be  reimagined through technological innovation, has been a common thread throughout  Thomas’s career as an entrepreneur, and he has successfully identified and invested in a  number of startup and early stage technology companies, including IL MAKIAGE, Oculus,  Genies, Zoox and Magic Leap, among others.
