His transition into applied analytics began in Las Vegas, where he worked at Station Casinos and later joined the Seminole Tribe of Florida as Vice President of Strategic Analytics and Database Marketing.
There, Ralph led a sweeping transformation of the organization’s approach to data, designing an enterprise data warehouse, a suite of business intelligence tools, and new player engagement strategies that drove millions in incremental revenue.
He invented the industry’s first “Devotion Score” metric to measure player loyalty to specific slot machines and built an internal CRM system that boosted host productivity and marketing precision.
Ralph’s ability to blend advanced analytics with day-to-day casino operations made him a unique and invaluable leader in the space.
Following his success at Seminole, Ralph joined VizExplorer as General Manager of Gaming and Strategy and later served as Chief Data Scientist.
He helped design major products like crmViz and hostViz, trained teams across the industry, and played a key role in the company’s rapid growth. In parallel, he founded Education Revolution and developed the Socrates AI Learning Platform, a cloud-based educational tool that has helped over 50,000 students improve their math skills in the U.S. and Mexico.
In 2020, Ralph co-founded Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), where he now serves as CEO.
He remains a hands-on leader, driving the development of generative AI tools like Jarvis, and scaling QCI’s solutions to over 250 casinos across six countries. His career reflects a rare blend of academic brilliance, technical execution, and visionary leadership across gaming, education, and artificial intelligence.
Beyond his accomplishments in mathematics and technology, Dr. Ralph Thomas is a devoted family man who values quality time with his loved ones. He enjoys playing golf, coaching his son’s math studies, and staying active in the Las Vegas community.
A passionate sports fan, Ralph proudly supports the Vegas Golden Knights and the Raiders, even joking that not even advanced analytics could predict the Raiders’ next move.
Known for his humility, dry humor, and insatiable curiosity, Ralph brings the same passion for learning and growth to his personal life that he brings to his work.
