Thomas Müller is a thinker, maker and leader whose career spans more than 25 years at the intersection of design, innovation and human experience. As Chief Design Officer at Accenture Song, he plays a pivotal role in embedding creativity and simplicity into the organisation’s DNA – helping to deliver human impact and business value in equal measure.

Throughout his career, Thomas has worked with a broad spectrum of clients, from global corporations to non-profits, guiding CEOs, CMOs, CDOs and their teams in unlocking value through design. A firm believer in the power of simplicity, he uses design not merely as an aesthetic tool, but as a strategic process to understand people, integrate technology, and create emotionally resonant, meaningful experiences.

Before joining Accenture Song, Thomas served as Chief Experience Officer at Siegel+Gale, where he helped transform the agency into a modern brand experience consultancy. He previously held leadership roles at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Arnold Worldwide, helping to revitalise digital businesses and establish world-class creative teams.

His career began in New York at Razorfish during the rise of Silicon Alley, where he spent nearly a decade as VP Design and Executive Creative Director. During this time, he built design teams around the globe and led work for clients including AOL, CBS, Ford, Time Warner, Citibank, Giorgio Armani and Sony.

Thomas holds a degree from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, and continues to support the next generation of designers as a mentor, coach and advocate for design education. Based in Munich, he draws inspiration from the city’s energy, culture and heritage. An avid cyclist and Rapha Ride Leader, he regularly charts Alpine routes to add variety to his annual 10,000+ km on the bike.
