Jeremy Thomas

Member Nominated

I’m Jeremy Thomas, and I joined the Trustee Board as a Member Nominated Trustee in 2022.

In early 2016 I moved to Scotland from New Zealand with my wife, and by 2017 had joined VisitScotland in the marketing department. I worked for several years marketing Scotland to the rest of the UK, before moving to the Partnerships team in 2021. My role is focused on the support and development of the industry in Scotland, and leveraging key partner relationships to promote our products domestically and abroad.

Prior to moving to Scotland, I enjoyed a varied marketing career in New Zealand, including roles at Vodafone and Uber, before deciding it was time to travel and enjoy a new adventure. My wife and I applied for Ancestry Visas to the UK and absolutely fell in love with Scotland, choosing to switch over to permanent residency in early 2021.

I have a Bachelor of Business degree, with double majors in Marketing and Management, and a minor in sales.

When I’m not working, I love walking my rescue dog, practising martial arts, reading and history.

I’m excited to be the newest member of the Board, and look forward to everything this experience brings.
