Therefore it may appear quite contradictory to launch a personal website which, regardless of perspective, revolves and turns around one self. But my aim with this website is to branch out beyondmy usual activities, while simultaneously using the site as a digital connection to my businesses within the Thornico Group (www.Thornico.com). Within this company we are involved in shipping, technology, the food industry, real estate, fashion and sports. All the mentioned companies share the core values of Company karma. This site should give an insight into what inspirations that lies behind the value based approach and the way we overall do business in the Thornico group. Hopefully, the website also provides a needlepoint into what has shaped and formed my other more private lifestyle choicesIn addition to this, the site will function as a distribution network in terms of information and news in regards to my books, when and where I give lectures and talks. I will share content, interests, personal thoughts and sources of inspiration here. ## Tom Ryan - Type: Angel - Location: Los Angeles, California, United States - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A, Pre-Seed - Focus: Music, E-Commerce, Mobile Tom Ryan is CEO and Co-Founder of Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service in America that is also available in 22 countries across Europe and Latin America.
