Thomas Stickley

Thomas E. Stickley is an investment-compliance professional currently serving as Chief Compliance Officer at Marble Harbor Investment Counsel, LLC, a role he assumed in mid-2023. Marble Harbor is a boutique registered investment adviser providing discretionary portfolio management to individuals, families, and institutions.

Prior to Marble Harbor, Stickley spent approximately eleven years as Chief Compliance Officer (and Client Services Manager) at Kestrel Investment Management Corporation, an institutional small-cap value equity advisor founded in 1993 and headquartered at 411 Borel Avenue, San Mateo, California. This is the firm associated with the [hidden] email in the stub.

Earlier in his career, Stickley worked on the Nasdaq trading desk at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York (beginning around 2000) and spent five years at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., where he conducted regulatory inspections and examinations of investment firms — the foundation of his subsequent compliance career.

Stickley is a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (B.S. in Management and Economics) and a former Coast Guard officer. He earned an M.B.A. with a finance concentration from NYU's Stern School of Business. Personal interests noted on his firm bio include skiing, road cycling, and music.

• No personal angel or venture investment thesis could be verified. Stickley's professional role is compliance and regulatory oversight, not deal sourcing or check-writing.
• The firms he has worked for invest in public equities, not startups: Kestrel Investment Management is an institutional small-cap value equity manager, and Marble Harbor Investment Counsel manages diversified portfolios for individuals, families, and institutions.
• If the intent was to reach a seed-stage startup backer, this record indicates the classification is mistaken; there is no public evidence of a seed/angel portfolio under this name.
