Thomas Oechler

Tom Oechler is a Certified Public Accountant and nonprofit finance executive based in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. He began his career as an auditor with the firm now known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, eventually becoming a manager in PwC's Milwaukee office, where he served a variety of clients with a focus on the financial services industry.

He then moved into nonprofit financial leadership, serving as corporate controller for Lutheran Social Services from roughly 2001 to 2011, leading the accounting and finance function of one of Wisconsin's largest social-service organizations. He subsequently served as Chief Financial Officer of the Indian Community School (ICS) in Franklin, WI — a private school serving Native American youth in southeastern Wisconsin — where he oversaw accounting, finance, facilities management, and other business operations. The `ics-edu.org` email and Milwaukee (414) phone number in the stub data correspond to this former ICS role; ICS has since named a new CFO (Theresa "Tari" Blazei, effective 2026), so those contact details are likely no longer active.

Oechler later served as Chief Financial Officer of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, and currently serves as Vice President of Finance and Administration at the Milwaukee Public Museum, where he is part of the senior leadership team supporting the museum's transition to its new facility (the future Nature & Culture Museum of Wisconsin). He holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) and both an MS in Accounting and an MBA from Northeastern University.

• Important accuracy note: No public evidence supports the stub-data characterization of Tom Oechler as an "Angel Investor" writing "Seed Round" checks. His verifiable public record is that of a nonprofit finance executive (CPA/CFO), not a private investor or fund principal. The "Angel Investors / Seed Round / Check Size / Sector Focus" fields could not be substantiated and should be treated as unverified or likely mislabeled aggregator data.
• His professional focus is institutional financial management: accounting, audit, finance operations, facilities, and administration for mission-driven nonprofits and cultural institutions.
• No stated personal investment thesis, sector preference, geographic mandate, or check-size range could be found in any primary or secondary source.
