Dear Friends/Colleagues,
We’re fortunate to have found a slot in John Thomas’s busy travel schedule to discuss recent developments in U.S. politics.
We kindly ask that you RSVP for this event in advance, as we anticipate high demand and would like to give all attendees an opportunity to ask John questions.
Please note: This is an off-the-record session held under Chatham House Rules, where active participation is strongly encouraged. Cameras must be turned on so that people know who they are speaking with — even if only for a brief introduction.
John Thomas
Managing Director, Nestpoints Associates
As Managing Director of Nestpoint, John Thomas co-founded the organization and shapes its strategic direction, driving growth and innovation across its operations and portfolio companies. With a robust background in media, strategy, and communications, John positions Nestpoint as a leader in its field, overseeing critical decisions, forging strategic partnerships, and spearheading expansion efforts. His leadership draws on a track record of tackling complex challenges, honed as the Founder and President of Thomas Partners Strategies, an award-winning firm celebrated for its pioneering work with political campaigns, corporations, and non-profits. John’s strategic prowess earned him high praise from former President Donald Trump, who commended him for his work in the 2024 election cycle, saying, “Thank you to John Thomas, the highly respected Republican strategist.”
John established himself as a top strategist while serving as Chief Strategist for Republican candidates nationwide, including President and U.S. Senate races, where his innovative 2016 election ads led the Los Angeles Times to dub him the “Billy the Kid of Political Battles.” A prominent political commentator, he appeared regularly on KFI AM 640’s Bill Handel Show in the past and has been featured on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. Today, he is frequently quoted in fund management publications such as Speevr, reflecting his expertise in financial and strategic spheres.
Educated at Southern Methodist University with a degree in Advertising and at the Pepperdine School of Public Policy with a Master of Public Policy—where he received the Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award—John blends academic depth with practical impact. His commitment extends to civic roles, including having served on the Board of Directors for CalWatchdog, Pepperdine's School of Public Policy and as a trustee for the House Ear Institute, mirroring the dedication he brings to Nestpoint.
