Vicky Thomas Email & Phone Number

After 12 amazing years in the automotive industry, I have decided to throw caution to the wind and leave VW to embark on a new journey of exploration and discovery. I am grateful for all the opportunities, challenges, and learnings that VW has given me, and for the wonderful colleagues and friends that I have made along the way.I am now looking for my next inspiration, something that will spark my passion and creativity, and allow me to make a positive impact in the world. I am open to trying new things, learning new skills, and collaborating with diverse and talented people. I am not looking for a permanent position at the moment, but rather for a purpose-driven project or role that aligns with my values and goals.If you have any suggestions, recommendations, or opportunities that you think might interest me, please feel free to reach out to me. I would love to hear from you and connect with you. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
