At Stifel, our greatest asset is our people. Our commitment to human capital ensures that every team member is valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. We strive to create an environment where every individual can thrive and contribute to our collective success. By investing in our associates and casting a wide net, we build a stronger, more innovative, and resilient organization.
We are dedicated to nurturing talent, promoting well-being, and fostering an environment that drives both personal and organizational growth.
“Much of our success can be attributed to two things: the quality of our people and our ability to adapt, constantly thinking like a growth company. Opportunities will always exist here for colleagues who want to grow, learn, and lead and for newcomers who provide fresh perspective.”
Ronald J. Kruszewski
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
As we continue to prioritize our people, we are guided by a clear vision: to create a workplace where every individual can thrive, innovate, and contribute to our collective success. We are inspired by the words of our leadership, who emphasize the transformative power of human capital at Stifel.
“At Stifel, it is part of our DNA and core to our belief that having the most talented associates providing the best advice and service to our clients is fundamental to the firm’s overall success and a key competitive advantage. Our position as a leader in wealth management and investment banking is recognized not only by our clients, but also by external industry organizations. We are extremely proud of the results we have had attracting and retaining high-quality individuals and teams to the firm.”

Stifel’s Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) was founded to engage and equip women throughout Stifel with the networking and mentoring tools to set and achieve goals in their personal and professional lives. Stifel believes that its clients are best served by professionals who are at their best and fully reflect the communities we serve. WIN is an important part of how Stifel’s professionals are putting that belief into practice.
WIN includes:
“Women in our industry face many unique challenges, from balancing family life with career aspirations to finding female sponsors and mentors. Here at Stifel, we’re committed to helping our female associates address those issues head on.
WIN empowers female associates and supports them with action so they can be fearless, confident, and themselves – and that mission extends beyond our office walls. We want to support the women in our communities so they can reach their full potential, which is why we help with everything from providing the professional attire they need to make a strong first impression to improving financial literacy and everything in between.”
