Thomas Jose
Director, Global Operations
Thomas Jose, the eldest son of Mr. Jose Thomas, earned his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in 2008.
After graduating, Thomas returned to India and joined the Construction Wing of The Choice Group. He was entrusted with overseeing the administration and sales of Choice Paradise, a landmark residential skyscraper in Tripunithura, Kochi, Kerala.
At the time, Choice Paradise, comprising 40 floors and rising to a height of 137 metres, was the tallest building in Kerala. The landmark project was completed in 2012.
Following his work on Choice Paradise, Thomas was entrusted with overseeing the completion and sales of Choice Marina, a premium residential condominium project situated along the picturesque backwaters of Kochi. Set amid swaying palms and overlooking the region’s tranquil waters, Choice Marina was conceived as an exclusive development offering refined living, luxury, and a distinctive waterfront lifestyle. Thomas played an important role in guiding the project through its completion and supporting its sales operations.
As seafood is one of The Choice Group’s core businesses, Thomas subsequently moved to the Group’s IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) seafood processing facility in Kochi.
Under the guidance of his father, Mr. Jose Thomas, he received comprehensive training across all major functions of the seafood business. His experience encompassed the entire operational cycle, including raw-material procurement, production, quality control, processing operations, and sales.
Thomas is currently responsible for overseeing operations at the newly established seafood processing plant in Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh. In this capacity, he monitors the plant’s performance and ensures that production and related activities are carried out efficiently.
Thomas also played an instrumental role in establishing The Choice Group’s business relationship with Aldi UK. Since its inception, the relationship has continued to grow steadily, contributing to the expansion of the Group’s international seafood business.
His involvement in developing and strengthening this relationship reflects his commitment to international business development, strong customer partnerships, and sustainable growth.
