Andy Thomas's love of automobiles led him to a somewhat unanticipated career in marketing. After serving in several roles for Jaguar Land Rover, he joined Ferrari North America as a Regional Sales Manager for the Southern Region. He then moved to Rolls-Royce North America as a General Manager for Marketing. His knack for delivering irresistible experiences to key prospects eventually landed him the role of Global Brand Manager for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. In 2012, he joined BMW North America as an Experiential Sales and Marketing Manager until McLaren, particularly appreciative of his engineering background, lured him away in 2015 to become VP of Marketing and Communications.
