Guided by the belief that the meaning of life is to find your gift and the purpose is to give it away, Tom brings deep intention to everything he does at Checkout.com. At the heart of his work is connection; creating safe spaces, encouraging honest conversations and helping people feel seen, heard, and valued. It’s a mindset that shapes how he builds culture and one that’s deeply supported at Checkout.com.

Why Checkout.com?

Tom was drawn to Checkout.com by its global reach and the opportunity to make a positive difference at scale. From the start, it felt ambitious, bigger than any one role where he feels connected to a collective mission, working alongside exceptional people to shape the future of fintech, together.

Beyond Work: Creating Space for Real Conversations

Outside of work, Tom is passionate about bringing people together, especially creating environments where the harder, more human conversations can happen. Those moments where understanding clicks, where the penny drops and where people feel truly seen.

Checkout.com actively supports this passion. Tom is encouraged to treat his role not just as a job, but as a craft. He’s given the autonomy to grow and pursue external speaking and facilitation opportunities with the belief that a more fulfilled, rounded leader brings even more value back to the team.

#BetterEveryday

The Checkout.com Operating Principle that resonates most with Tom is #Better Everyday. For him, it goes far beyond performance metrics.

“Be better at my job. A better colleague. A better ally. A better communicator. A better husband, son, brother, a better person.”

It’s a philosophy that shapes how Tom shows up at work and in life, with small improvements, continuous learning and progress with purpose.

A Place to Be Yourself and Make an Impact

Tom’s story reflects what makes Checkout.com different. This is a place where people are trusted. Where individuality is valued. Where comparison is discouraged, and growth is personal. If you’re considering a career at Checkout.com, Tom’s advice is, don’t lose yourself trying to fit a mould. Learn from others, cover your blind spots but do your own thing.

Here, your perspective matters, and your voice counts. At Checkout.com, we build our culture the same way we build our business, together.
