Thomas J. Hutzel

Tom joined FrontStreet as the Chief Financial Officer in 2013, with a vision to grow the company from an entrepreneurial start-up to a national brand. Tom received his Bachelor of Arts in Accounting at St. John’s University. He earned his CPA, then began his career with Ernst & Young. Embracing the entrepreneurial mindset, Tom redirected his career to the venture capital space. Having over three decades of Wall Street experience, having served in a C-level capacity, Tom worked with early stage funding, corporate restructuring, and global expansion of service businesses. He served on the boards of multiple early stage investment portfolio companies that he helped fund, including Stolle Milk Biologics, Diamonex (a former division of Monsanto), and Home Director (a spinout from IBM).

Prior to joining FrontStreet, Tom partnered with Skip Warner, FrontStreet’s current Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer, where they spearheaded the global expansion of back-office support at the world’s largest expert network, The Gerson Lehrman Group. As partners at FrontStreet, they once again are invigorated by the entrepreneurial opportunity, endeavoring to lead the team as an agile and valuable partner to our portfolio of client companies. In 2018, Tom assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, a role he accepted with pride, passion, and reverence, reimagining FrontStreet as the facilities industry market leader. Powered by vision and integrity, Tom has made insightful investments in talent, technology, and client/vendor initiatives, transforming the entrepreneurial start-up to a respected strategic business partner.
