Terence Thomas is the Co-founder of Activate Detroit. With more than a dozen years in government and corporate affairs, advocating on behalf of the largest health care and business organizations in Michigan, Thomas has accomplished far more than creating tens of millions of dollars in value for these organizations; he has also spearheaded the development of deep community.
Thomas refined his business advocacy skills as an attorney with Miller Canfield, where he worked in commercial litigation, intellectual property, including e-commerce and internet law, and emerging business development in Detroit. Thomas transforms corporate advocacy from taking reactive positions to taking value-added, proactive ones, with an unwavering focus on business ethics. While at St. John Providence Health System and Ascension Health, he developed a model to significantly increase community involvement and outreach.
