Tom Gardner Biography

Tom Gardner is the chief executive officer and co-chairman of The Motley Fool, a financial services company he co-founded in 1993 with his brother, David, and Erik Rydholm. What began as a traditional print newsletter has grown into an international multimedia network that offers financial and business solutions to millions of Fools worldwide.

Gardner is a firm believer in the practice of Conscious Capitalism and leads the company by way of its established “Golden Rule” principles designed to create simultaneous value for all of the company’s stakeholders. Gardner's leadership and commitment to creating a diverse culture of inclusion, belonging, and succeeding has resulted in employee engagement scores over 90%, the company twice being named as Glassdoor’s #1 Best Medium-Sized Company to Work For in America, and year-after-year inclusion as a top workplace in the Washington, DC area. Gardner also serves as the lead advisor on multiple investment products, including Motley Fool One – the company’s all-access investing advice service.

His motley, the personal core value each Fool brings to the organization, is: “Aspen Grove Root System.” An aspen grove boasts a massive root system that connects what look like numerous separate trees but is actually a single organism expressed across an area as large as 100 acres. Similarly, Fools operate and thrive in their own business units and teams but come together in pursuit of the company’s unifying purpose of making the world smarter, happier, and richer.

Gardner sits on the National Advisory Board of the Concussion Legacy Foundation and is a graduate of Brown University.

Tom Gardner Speaking Topics

Finding Hidden Gems

Before settling on a stock investment to add to his portfolio, Tom Gardner investigates up to a hundred companies. Why? Because he’s seeking out the market's “Hidden Gems”: companies valued at less than $2 billion that, for a variety of reasons, isn't on Wall Street's radar screen, companies that big institutional money managers cannot yet invest in. Tom Gardner believes that hard work correlates well with sustained outperforming of the market, and that the probability for excellent returns rises based on the number of investment prospects you can regularly evaluate and eliminate. In this presentation, Tom Gardner shows investors how focusing on the undiscovered, undervalued companies generating heaps of free cashflow to mine profit where Wall Street can't.
Ready for the Real World? Foolish Advice for Students

Who’s teaching our kids about money? Though our high school graduates enter a world where job searches, salaries, expenses and an extraordinary array of personal finance decisions—both dangerous and opportune—await, very few of this nation’s high schools or universities offers even basic lessons on saving, investing, or planning for the future. As educators, The Motley Fool co-founders feel there are some things young adults should know about investing and finance. Experienced speaking to both student and parent audiences, they have put together a humorous and engaging speech, based on their successful book, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens. Some of the practical advice they’ll share: · Money equals opportunity · Every dollar spent is an investment · You don’t need to be rich to get into—or succeed at—investing · You have more money to invest than you think The Motley Fool will deliver the know-how young adults need to become more sophisticated investors, financial planners – and spenders.

The 10 Things We Should've Learned in School About Money

Think about what you learned in school: The Pythagorean theorem. The Gettysburg Address. Music. Art. These are important things to learn about; however, sometimes we’re taught them in lieu of a subject central to everything we do – money. In their most frequently requested speech, David and Tom Gardner take the audience through a list of simple financial lessons to fix the bad habits (credit-card debt; managed mutual funds) and begin the good (investing for our future). Along the way, they put the financial world in its proper context, explain the at times confusing terminology of the financial world and give audiences the confidence and clarity to make good, sound investment choices.

Their passion for business trends and for being creating a workplace that people are proud of combined with the brothers' distinct ability to deliver the obscure and esoteric in a friendly, easy-to understand manner makes for an informative and entertaining presentation on almost any business topic specifically suited to your organization.
