× WHO
Work × Whistle is Drew Thomas.
I'm Drew. I'm the whole company. The person you talk to is the person doing the work.
I co-founded a digital agency at 19 and ran it as chief creative officer, then CTO... 20 people, building for McDonald's, Nationwide Insurance, and Everlast Worldwide. Since then: ten years on my own as a consultant, an early SasS startup role, a run inside a large enterprise AI-chip company, two products sold, dozens grown and run, and hundreds built.
Now I do one thing: help mid-sized companies use AI, and do it right. With my hands on the keyboard the whole way. Others talk, I ship.
