Profil
Patrick Thomas a reçu une éducation stricte, empreinte de rigueur. « J'ai été élevé dans un catholicisme janséniste dans lequel les droits, les joies et les plaisirs étaient interdits ». Il ne va pas à l'école mais a une maîtresse d'école « privée » jusqu'à l'âge de huit ans.
Le noyau familial étant tourné vers le monde des affaires, il s'oriente vers le commerce. Son grand père a fondé une petite société de jus de fruits, son père et son oncle l'ont relancé pour donner naissance à la marque Pampryl. Il échoue à HEC et décide de compenser ses années d'ESCP en intégrant le repaire de la finance de l'époque, la multinationale ITT. Il y fera deux années d'apprentissage.
Puis il contacte le groupe Pernod qui vient de racheter Pampryl, l'affaire familiale. C'est là qu'il fait ses armes. Stage ouvrier, contrôle de gestion, direction administrative, ... Quelques années plus tard, Patrick Ricard lui confie les finances du groupe. Il a 33 ans. Il apprend le développement et le marketing de masse.
En 1988, Jean-Louis Dumas le contacte. Alors qu'il dirige Pernod Ricard en Grande-Bretagne, le mythique patron d'Hermès l'invite à déjeuner à Londres. Patrick Thomas est embauché. De 1989 à 1997 il est le bras droit de Jean-Louis Dumas. Il est chargé à la fois de développer, de hiérarchiser et de gérer la maison. Là, il s'imprègne de l'esprit Dumas.
Huit ans plus tard, considérant qu'il a rempli sa mission, il repart. Il devient Président du groupe de cosmétique Lancaster, puis du groupe William Grant.
En mars 2006, Jean-Louis Dumas affaibli par la maladie, lui cède son fauteuil. Il est le premier patron d'Hermès à ne pas appartenir à la famille. Il est conscient de la difficulté qu'il existe à diriger une entreprise familiale sous le regard de tous ses descendants (72% de l'actionnariat). Surtout qu'au côté du gestionnaire, Jean-Louis Dumas adoube deux directeurs artistiques, son fils, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, et sa cousine, Pascale Mussard.
Bien que partageant les valeurs de la maison, Patrick Thomas instaure un management moderne. Les décisions n'émanent plus uniquement du gérant mais également des responsables nommés par pôle de spécialité. Il mise tout sur la concertation.
