Russell Hicks
Vice President
Russell Hicks is a Vice President at Garcia, Barnblatt, Foster of TSG Wealth Management in San Francisco, where he supports the team’s work with families, individuals, and non-profit institutions. Much of his own focus is on equity compensation. He helps people at startups and public tech companies work through the tax and timing decisions that come with their equity, from the first grant to a liquidity event. He treats those decisions as one part of a complete financial plan.
His interest in equity compensation is personal. Earlier in his career, Russell worked out his own equity agreement at a startup and learned firsthand what it’s like to be on the employee side of the table. Russell earned his bachelor’s degree and MBA, with an emphasis in International Finance, from the University of Nevada, Reno, where he also pitched for the Wolf Pack baseball team. He has passed Level I of the CFA Program and holds Series 7 and 66 registrations.
He was born in Tucson, grew up in Bishop, California, and spent years in the Reno and Tahoe area before moving to San Francisco. He remains an avid skier and has volunteered with Biggest Little Trail Stewardship, the Sugar Pine Foundation, and One Truckee River. Since the move, he has traded the mound for the softball field and plays beach volleyball.
