Thom Poole

Thom Poole is a British author, international marketing strategist and lifelong student of people, history and decision-making.

After a career spanning more than three decades, working with organisations including Google, eBay, Porsche, Hilti and Black & Decker across more than seventy countries, Thom has become known for combining commercial insight with an insatiable curiosity about why people think, behave and choose as they do.

That same curiosity shapes his writing.

Whether exploring the moral dilemmas of Nazi Germany in The Ravensburg Chief, the dangers of occupied Europe in The Smuggler's Apprentice, the consequences of changing history in Time Traveller's Dilemma, or the psychology behind successful organisations in books such as The Psychology of Marketing Influence and Marketing Tribes, his work is united by a common theme: understanding people.

His fiction is grounded in meticulous research and authentic historical detail, while his business books draw upon practical experience gained in international leadership, digital transformation and strategic marketing. He has also written children's fiction, military memoirs and practical business guides, reflecting a belief that every subject has a story worth telling.

Away from writing, Thom enjoys genealogy, local history and uncovering the forgotten stories that connect ordinary people with extraordinary events, many of which find their way into his novels.

Thom lives in Shropshire, England, where he continues to research, write and develop new fiction and non-fiction titles.

His books are published under the Red Kite Publishing, reflecting a commitment to producing well-researched, thought-provoking books that inform, challenge and entertain.
