Summary
Edward Thomas is an AI consultant and founder with a decade of experience turning fragmented customer data into operational advantage for enterprises and media platforms. He built and leads CdpHub, a vendor-neutral practice and integration directory that helps organizations make confident six- and seven-figure CDP decisions, and currently architects data collection foundations for AI at Royal Caribbean Group. His background spans high-stakes domains—from emergency response data architecture under a DTRA grant to scaling global streaming measurement at Paramount through mergers, launches, and live events like Super Bowl LIII. He combines product, consultancy, and hands-on engineering fluency (Snowflake, BigQuery, Adobe, Tealium, dbt) with a knack for translating governance and consent into production-ready pipelines. He also runs Two Tom Media, experimenting with generative AI to produce rapid, satirical short-form content—evidence of a creative streak that informs pragmatic tech choices. Based in Miami, he thrives on closing the gap between what AI makes possible and what people actually do with data.
