Daniel Thomason in brief

Product Leader, Economist, & Author
‍Daniel Thomason operates at the intersection of macroeconomic strategy and high-scale product execution. Currently leading Google Wallet Payments, Daniel oversees the product vision for global Android and WearOS payment ecosystems, driving a future where digital transactions are not only more convenient but fundamentally more secure and sustainable than the traditional plastic economy.
His unique "Product Economics" framework was forged at the Reserve Bank of Australia, where he served as an economist. By applying central bank rigor to digital product ecosystems, Daniel bridges the gap between high-level fiscal trends and tactical product growth. This rare dual-lens allows him to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and build "zero-to-one" fintech solutions that scale globally.
An entrepreneur at heart, Daniel founded Next Level Escape, one of Sydney’s most successful and award-winning experiential ventures—achieving profitability within just four months. This "in-the-trenches" grit, combined with a decade of tech leadership, is the foundation of his upcoming book, which provides a definitive roadmap for the next generation of product managers.Daniel is a sought-after advisor for early-stage fintechs and a guest lecturer on the symbiotic relationship between economic theory and product strategy.
