Thomas worked in frontier market investment, and is the director of Devonport Capital.
He was once described as “the most eligible man in London”.
Thomas graduated from the University of Bristol with a bachelor’s degree in economic history, according to The Telegraph.
He worked in the Diplomatic Missions Unit of the United Kingdom’s Foreign Office, and for almost three years worked in Baghdad as a project officer for the Iraqi Institute of Peace.
His job was to mediate conflicts in Iraq, and he even helped negotiate the release of hostages.
Thomas then moved into finance, working as an equity analyst for global asset management firm Schroders.
He was managing director of Voltan Capital Management until April 2017.
Thomas dated Pippa Middleton back in 2011, after she split from cricketer Alex Loudon.
They met through mutual friends, and although their romance was short-lived, they remained close.
In September 2018, it was announced that Thomas was engaged to Lady Gabriella Windsor, who’s 51st in line to the throne.
