Ocean Tomo Culture
The Managing Directors of Ocean Tomo are known for the culture of the institutions that they have built. Our culture is entrepreneurial, open and based on a foundation of core values. Most importantly, our culture is one of empowerment where you make a difference and are able to rise to the top of the organization in all respects based on performance. Our value statement below is given to all employees and posted in our offices:
Firm "Family" Values
We value quality, integrity and honesty.
Ocean Tomo is a united family - we work together to help each other.
We are responsible to our investors, our management partners and employees, and ourselves. We do not stray from our investment thesis or our values.
Every activity in which we participate should yield a return through goodwill or new direct or indirect opportunities.
We are respectful of the firm's heritage to which we are custodian - every person we meet should be impressed by our professionalism and values.
Criticism must be constructive; family criticism must be private.
Time is our most valued commodity - any potential client we meet or transaction we consider should be of high quality and relevant to our Mission and investment thesis.
Under-promise and over-deliver; aim high but don't overstate.
We work hard in a smart and efficient way remembering the importance of balance in our life.
Our effort is 110% - anticipate your expected contribution and then outperform.
Organizational Structure
Ocean Tomo fosters a team environment consisting of four professional levels where advancement to the next level is based on individual performance and contributions.
Career Development
At Ocean Tomo, you will find yourself surrounded by professionals with over 200 combined years of experience who will challenge you to perform at your peak. In addition to providing continuous training while on client engagements, we offer the following tools to help you develop a rewarding long-term career with us.
Our All-Firm Knowledge Sharing Session is held each summer and is an opportunity for all of our employees to convene in one location in order to strengthen relationships as well as teach each other about their respective business.
Twice a month, our All-Hands Conference Call features a "Main Thing" topic to educate the rest of the firm on a new initiatives or current developments.
We have also developed a Competency Model to help you understand performance expectations for each level. You have two opportunities each year, during our Semi-Annual Review Process, to set performance goals based on the Competency Model and receive formal feedback from Managing Directors.

Organizational Structure
Ocean Tomo fosters a team environment consisting of four professional levels where advancement to the next level is based on individual performance and contributions.
- Analyst - the entry-level point for undergraduates with degrees in accounting, finance and economics from top-tier business programs. This position is expected to be a three to four year position, at which time the employee begins to supervise more junior analysts and take additional client responsibility. Analysts are primarily responsible for financial analysis, modeling, research and report writing.
- Associate - the entry-level point for professionals with MBA's, PhD's, or certain other advanced skill sets (e.g. CPA or CFA). Associates are primarily responsible for developing the analyses used in engagements, directing the efforts of the Analysts and managing engagements with Director or Managing Director input.
- Director - similar to a "Senior Associate" at a law firm or Director at an investment bank, these individuals have proven themselves as having the potential to achieve Managing Director status after achievement of certain defined goals. Directors are primarily responsible for managing engagements.
- Managing Director - similar to a Partner at a law firm or Managing Director at an investment bank. All Managing Directors share in the decision making at the firm. Managing Directors are primarily responsible for bringing in new business, testifying and managing large engagements.
