Thomas Mandell



Thomas Mandell
Biography
Before Thomas began his career in electronic components in Long Island, New York, he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. A family member’s success in the business of sourcing and selling electronic components back in 2000 inspired Thomas to follow in their footsteps. To properly set himself up to succeed, he studied several languages before starting his first sales associate position. There, Thomas met the people he would form relationships with for a lifetime.
Among those new friends, Gilvan Angelini had a particularly interesting and unique background. He told Thomas his story of a poor working family in Brazil, where he worked tirelessly to earn a degree in engineering. Armed with that knowledge, he moved to the United States with only 20$ in his pocket and the determination to succeed.
“No one can make you fail,” he said to Thomas. “You get to decide if you succeed or not.”
Thomas realized that this man was cut from a different cloth and when Gilvan founded AGS Devices, Thomas joined a family destined for success.
When he’s not sourcing components or making negotiations, Thomas enjoys cooking gourmet meals for his family, studying history and gaming.
