Thomas Wyllie matriculated from DHS (Durban High School) in 1997 and departed for a gap year spent tending animals and picking Bananas on Kibbutz in Israel. He began his BA Media & Communication in 1999 and completed his degree in 2001. He graduated summa cum laude with a focus on philosophy, the media and film. Thomas has studied within a variety of disciplines including linguistics, drama, gender studies, translation studies, the history of cinema and English to name but a few.
He has since explored a plethora of activities including teaching children in Taiwan, short term insurance in Johannesburg and junior management within the Exclusive Books group. His most recent adventures have taken him into the world of television production where he acted as production manager for a series of educational programs for the SABC. Needless to say, Thomas is a lateral thinker who hopes to bring a fresh new perspective to an exciting, growing company. His multi-disciplinary education and diverse life-experience makes him a ‘jack of all trades’ with an intense hunger to learn and utilize lessons learnt.
