Gordon Thoms

Gordon joined the Board of CMANZ in late 2024 following the tragic and devastating loss of his 23-year-old daughter, Alexandra to an undiagnosed Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy in 2023. His younger son, Charlie, also has the same heart disease and has had a heart defibrillator installed as well as being on daily heart medication. 

Through his involvement with CMANZ and other related organisations, his strong motivation is simply to work with others to build awareness, research capability and advocacy  – in the hope that other families will not have to live through his family’s tragic experience.    

Gordon has had a successful career in financial services, having worked in senior roles with a number of global investment banking firms before establishing his own advisory business which he has recently sold. 

He serves as a board member and director of a number of private companies and charitable foundations.
