Thomas Laboulle

Thomas Laboulle, the founder and CEO of Singapore-based Toku, started his career in a challenging environment: the military. In 2006, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy of Belgium as an Infantry Officer. He spent several years in the field before deciding to continue his academic journey, first at the University of Leuven, then at the Solvay Business School of Brussels.

That experience laid the foundation of a strong business acumen that served him well whilst moving into the private sector. During this period, Thomas explored management consulting and created an online marketplace for students called NimbusFish in his spare time.

His various consulting missions became focused on International Project and Change Management for Corporate IT Initiatives. This refinement led to his next business venture in 2012 when he founded Mundito, a boutique consulting firm.

Within three years, Thomas decided that fast-growing Asia was the place-to-be in terms of business opportunities. He migrated to Singapore with an intent to pioneer digital business models for technology startups in the financial sector.

Besides his in-house consultancy work, Thomas also worked part-time on due diligence assignments for a Swiss family office.

By mid-2016, Thomas was recruited by the Board of Directors of GlobalRoam to lead and re-structure the then 15-year old Singaporean telecom operator.

This experience resulted in the eventual founding of Toku in 2018, a Communications Platform-as-a-Service provider designed to empower businesses to broaden customer engagement using cloud-based telecommunications.
