Thomas Carton

Thomas is one of the club's two co-founders. He has spent the past decade building growth systems that are increasingly AI-native, across healthcare, tech, finance, and B2B, and today serves enterprise clients at Saxum as a Senior Marketing Specialist focused on strategy, measurement, and client impact.

His work is the club's premise in practice: he led team-wide AI adoption at Saxum, builds automated human-in-the-loop content systems, and works daily in agentic tools like Claude Code. As an independent consultant during his MBA, he advised businesses representing more than $25M in combined annual revenue and built AI systems for content, forecasting, and analysis.

The track record behind that runs from scrappy to enterprise: a YouTube brand grown into the top 0.3% of channels worldwide, social content with 58 million organic views, ad accounts tuned to double-digit return on spend, and 4.9x year-over-year organic traffic growth. Before agency life he ran an Oklahoma accounting firm as COO and then CEO.

His first logged build, Vouch Rank, is a self-hosted Semrush alternative that an AI agent team shipped in four days. The experiment log tracks what he builds next.
