Jayson Darby
What is your role at Thomas?
I am the Interim Chief Product Officer, leading our Science, Product and Engineering teams. As a group, we focus on building an exceptional Product Experience which supports the overall Customer Experience of Thomas. It’s great fun.
What is the best thing about working at Thomas?
The pace of change has always kept things exciting, and it has created a lot of opportunities for people to develop and try new things in their career. As we’ve grown, we’ve created new teams and new specialisms and it’s this openness to let people job craft that I have enjoyed the most over the past 7 years.
What do your assessments say about you?
That I am exceptionally competitive and impatient, whilst also talking far too much. Ultimately, I like to feel successful and enjoy feeling like lots of things are moving at once. I enjoy debates and discussions, and often verbalise the stream of consciousness going through my head. I’ve had the benefit of Thomas’ solutions for years, so I hope I’ve become better at modifying some of my more extreme characteristics!
What do you most enjoy outside of Thomas?
I’m a huge gamer and so I channel my competitiveness into online gaming. It’s great escapism and has been a brilliant way to stay connected with people in recent times. Outside of that, I can often be found walking along the clifftop routes outside of Brighton and Eastbourne when the weather allows it!

I am a perfectionist and expect a lot from myself and my colleagues. I learn very quickly. I am not competitive and prefer good collaboration to personal success. I can be emotionally vulnerable but I am also highly empathetic toward people around me.
What do you most enjoy outside of Thomas?
I am a 'professional' expat having lived in four different countries and enjoy discovering cultures and lifestyles. I am also a happy mum of two young kids who keep me busy on the weekends.

The people. I like the passion that everyone shows about Thomas and it’s products and I feed off of this. I settled into working at Thomas pretty much immediately and that is unique as usually it takes me a couple of months.
What do your assessments say about you?
I am unique in the Finance team as I have an “I” profile - a typical finance profile is C or S. My role is heavily customer facing and I like to build relationships. My motto is that it is better to negotiate and use a friendly approach in line with the Thomas ethos in order to obtain results. These qualities in my profile really came to the fore as the current uncertain climate meant a lot of businesses were experiencing difficult times and I had to factor that in.
What do you most enjoy outside of Thomas?
Sport plays a big part in my life outside of Thomas. I play football twice a week and I am also the Manager of an U13’s football team. I am also a parent helper at Stoke Green Cricket Club. I am a big supporter of Liverpool FC and try to go to as many of their games as I can. I also share a season ticket for Brentford FC with a couple of close friends.

What do your assessments say about you?
I found the assessment results reaffirming and enlightening when I was first presented with them. My results highlighted my high conscientiousness which can lead me to be perfectionistic and find it hard to delegate (something I’m working on!). I found the results really useful for developing my leadership style and interacting with colleagues who may have a different approach to myself.
What do you most enjoy outside of Thomas?
Outside of Thomas you will often find me in my home gym, spending time exploring in nature and travelling. I still have a few countries left to explore, but I’m checking them off slowly.
