Thomas Winkelmann

Senior Advisor

Gray

Thomas’s work centers on engaging the human mind, liberating the heart, and building the courage to act—an approach shaped by his transition from editorial and journalistic work to leading large-scale organizational transformation. As a leader of multidisciplinary teams, he helps people forge vivid connections between their own life experiences and the work they are part of, drawing inspiration from wide, unexpected sources and encouraging courageous, personal inquiry.

Earlier in his career, Thomas served as Creative Director at Publicis’ MSLGroup, Art Editor at Condé Nast Publications on titles including German Vogue, World of Interiors, and GQ, and as a designer at Benetton’s COLORS magazine. He holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design, apprenticed with American painter Jim Dine, and continues a photography practice exploring the relationship between light and the cultural identity of places.
