Christopher G. Thomas has a strong background in operations and leadership. He earned a Bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Oklahoma. Thomas joined Paycom Software in 2018 and quickly climbed the ranks. By 2023, he was the Chief Operating Officer before becoming Co-Chief Executive Officer on February 7, 2024. One unique aspect about Thomas is that he worked across different levels of management, from owning a small business to engaging in operations at various companies, including Love's Travel Stops. His tenure at Paycom has been marked by a focus on client service and operational efficiency. Interestingly, in 2023, his total compensation was reported at approximately $4 million, which included a substantial stock award due to his position and performance metrics tied to the company's revenue retention. This reflects a performance-oriented culture at Paycom. Thomas's leadership journey is just beginning as he continues to work alongside the founder, Chad Richison. He resigned from his role shortly after serving as Co-CEO, reflecting a fast-paced environment. His insights into operations have helped shape Paycom's approach to client interactions and service delivery, a key area in the tech field today.
