ALEX FLOYD

Account Executive

In my early life I was an army brat and moved all over the south and southwest. I spent my high school years in a small town north of Lafayette. After high school I worked as a diesel mechanic to save up money for school. With a year of drowning in oil and diesel under my belt, I couldn’t wait to get back into a classroom. I attended Purdue University and, after graduating, relocated with my new wife to Bloomington so she could achieve her Master’s Degree.

Once there, I started working as an engineering and manufacturing recruiter. I found I had a passion for placing people in roles that helped them with their career and provided value to my clients.

I joined Pinnacle Partners and continued to build on my experience in the engineering and manufacturing world. My diverse background has helped me interact with candidates and clients from all levels, from Maintenance Technicians to Directors of Engineering. Pinnacle provides an amazing environment that offers encouragement and support for success.

When I’m not in the office I enjoy being with my wife, 2 dogs, and our cat. I spend time hiking, kayaking, bingeing on whatever Netflix is throwing my way, and rooting for the Colts.

BRIAN TREECE

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

I grew up in Olney, Illinois, and attended Murray State University earning a BS degree in Accounting in 1983. Upon graduation, I moved to Indianapolis where I started my career with a regional distribution company. Over the next several years, I performed a variety of accounting and operational roles. However, I decided to leave the accounting profession and accepted a role as a recruiter with a national staffing firm.

After several years, I decided to move to a smaller staffing firm where I placed Accounting and Financial professionals focusing on the Central Indiana area. In 1999, after seven successful years, I left this small staffing firm and co-founded Pinnacle Partners. Pinnacle has experienced tremendous growth over the years and I attribute this growth, in part, to the principals I learned early in my career. These principals include building long lasting relationships by providing excellent customer service and superior results. I am very proud of our team of dedicated employees that has facilitated this growth.

On a personal note, I am married with three children. When I am not at work, you can usually find me coaching a youth basketball game. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach for over 24 years. I am a huge Green Bay Packers and St. Louis Cardinals fan and enjoy traveling to watch them play.

TROY DESMOND

IT Recruiter

I was raised in Carmel, Indiana where I attended Carmel High School. I played Varsity hockey all throughout my high school career. I later attended Indiana University where I was involved in many clubs and philanthropies including Faceoff for the Forces and Dropping the Puck on Cancer. After earning my degree in Financial Management from IU, I was seeking a job that would allow me to utilize my social skills along with the skills I acquired in school. I joined the Pinnacle Partners team directly out of college because I felt that it was the perfect fit for me. Since accepting the position I have enjoyed meeting and learning from all the senior level recruiters along with my colleagues. I enjoy helping others achieve their career goals and aspirations.

Outside of the office I enjoy hanging out with friends, golfing, basketball, and playing cards. I was originally born in Chicago so my roots are tied to all the sports teams. I follow: The Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls. It’s rough being a Bears fan, but it will pay off soon I know it.

KRISTEN YILMAZ

Account Executive

II am from Clinton, Indiana, but spent most of my adult life in NYC and Connecticut. After attending Cosmetology School, I worked at Pierre Michel Salon, in the heart of NYC, where I had the pleasure of working on celebrities and attending exclusive gatherings. Once I moved to Connecticut, I started working in Property Management and moved my way to being a Senior Community manager for several properties. In 2007, I had my first of three children and stayed at home to raise them. With all the joy that comes with that, I missed having a career. I moved back to Indiana in 2013 after tremendously missing family and friends and got back to work. Having experience in sales and a passion for people, I started at Pinnacle Partners as an Account Manager. With my love of working with people and helping them when in need, Pinnacle Partners is the perfect fit for me. Their dedication to the service they provide, the principles and ethics with the business and their understanding of family, is beyond anything I’d ever imagined. I’ve never worked for such an amazing company in my life!

When I’m not at work, you can find me either swimming or doing something outdoors with my 3 children, ages 7, 8 and 10. I enjoy all sports, playing and watching, vacationing, water skiing, laughing with my children and watching them grow into caring, loving people.

Following college, I spent the initial five years of my career working in the accounting field within the manufacturing industry, mainly focusing on cost accounting.

In 2000, I had the opportunity to join Pinnacle Partners and develop the Temporary Accounting Staffing Division. The opportunity to join a management team of former co-workers was exciting, and it made for an easy transition into a company with very strong ethical and business leadership. Since joining Pinnacle, my responsibilities have grown along with the company. I currently manage all aspects of the Accounting, Administrative, and Manufacturing/Engineering divisions. I am proud of the growth that we have experienced at Pinnacle.

My time at Pinnacle has allowed me to have a very rewarding career while never losing sight of my other priorities in life. My wife, Sara, and I have three boys who are very active in sports; they definitely keep us on the go.

In 1993, my wife and I moved to Indianapolis where I joined a small staffing firm and continued in the role of IT staffing.

ADAM WACHTEL

Senior IT Recruiter

I was born and raised in Robinson, IL and attended nearby Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN. Immediately upon graduating, with much thought and careful consideration, I made the move to Indianapolis to begin my career.

My career started at John Hancock as a Financial Advisor. I immediately passed the Series 6 & 63 allowing me the ability to provide financial stewardship and guidance to my clients’ investments and insurance needs. From there my journey took me to Alabama to run my family’s new car dealerships for several years allowing me the opportunity to run a large successful business. Eventually we sold the business and I was happy to move back to Indianapolis where I spent the next five years as a Senior Product Advisor within the Healthcare Insurance industry.

I joined Pinnacle Partners in early 2011 and was promoted to Senior IT Recruiter in 2012. I regularly attend networking events including IndyJUG which is sponsored by Pinnacle Partners. I enjoy engaging in the technologies that are relevant to candidates that I represent.

I spent the next several years as an Accounting Manager for a larger telecommunications manufacturer. Along the way, I developed a passion for travel which led me to working in the travel industry in my spare time. However, we found ourselves relocating to Michigan so I took this opportunity to work full time in the travel industry.

That work ethic has carried me through my successful 30 year career in the CPA profession, including the last 25 years in business and industry. After working in public accounting for five years with two Big Six firms, Deloitte & Touche and KPMG Peat Marwick, I decided to branch out into the world of executive recruiting for Accounting, Finance and Information Technology.

BEN NICHOLSON

Finance & Accounting Recruiter

I grew up close to Indianapolis and, for the most part, have stayed close to home. I went to school at Taylor University (Go Trojans!) where I had the opportunity to play four years of college football and graduated with a degree in Accounting. I went to work for a national CPA firm in South Bend in their audit group and after a couple of years, transitioned out into corporate accounting. After meeting my wife, we moved to San Francisco for her job and spent a few years in the Bay Area, where I worked as an outsourced Controller for a portfolio of tech start-ups.

We eventually moved back to be closer to family and I came into Pinnacle as a candidate, looking for a position in the local market. I was instantly impressed with the relational, deliberate approach to the placement process. I wasn’t just another resume needed to make a transaction. I ended up joining Pinnacle as a recruiter in the spring of 2013 and have loved it ever since. With my background in accounting, I'm able to leverage that knowledge to better understand the technical nuances of the needs of my clients, as well as the backgrounds of the candidates I work with. I partner with public and privately-held companies all over Central Indiana to help them identify and hire the best accounting and finance talent the market has to offer, with positions ranging from Staff Accountant, up through CFO. When I’m not in the office, you can find me watching sports (Cubs, Colts, Pacers, Boilers) or the latest superhero movie, or hauling my daughter around to whatever sport/activity she’s involved in that season.

I was born in California But did the majority of my growing up right here in Indianapolis. I went to Cathedral High School and I graduated from Purdue University in Lafayette. After switching majors multiple times from Computer graphic Technology to Psychology, I eventually ended up getting my B.A. in Law and Sociology.

I got my start in recruiting as an Internal recruiter for a large wireless company. I fell in love with recruiting and the process of assisting people in career development. I soon found my way to Pinnacle Partners as an IT recruiter. I enjoy meeting many different kinds of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I constantly strive to learn and advance my craft in recruiting as every day seems to provide me with a new lesson and experience.

Outside of Pinnacle Partners I am a huge sports fan with my favorite teams being the Colts and the Pacers. I am also an avid snowboarder and have recently being getting into the sport of skydiving. I hope to get my Skydiving license here in the near future. When I am not in the office I can normally be found spending my time with my German Shepherd, Hurley.

KIM SPEERLY

Senior IT Account Executive

I was born and raised in Central Illinois and attended Illinois State University. I soon after started by career as a Technical Recruiter and have been in the IT staffing business since. I have a true passion for helping my clients and candidates find the right match. I was a recruiter for about 4 years and then decided to take an Account Executive role so that I could better understand my client’s needs around technology. I worked for an IBM, Microsoft, & CISCO Gold Reseller where I was consulting with customers across North America to provide “Best in Class” solutions. I then took some time to work in the government sector for about 2 years and then jumped back into technology opening up a branch for a Technology Staffing firm in Central Illinois where I spent 5 ½ years growing a very profitable office.

I recently relocated to Indiana due to my husband’s job and joined Pinnacle Partners as a Senior Account Executive. I kept hearing how Pinnacle dominated the market with their people, process & solutions that they provide to their customers. I am extremely excited to be here and looking forward to doing what I love best and that is helping people! I have been doing this my whole career across the country and look forward to meeting all the clients and connections that I can here in Indiana and getting involved in the local community.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and stay active participating in a variety of activities with my two girls which play soccer, volleyball & dance.

I was born and raised in a small town in central Alabama. From there I had the opportunity to pursue both my education and my passion for athletics at the University of North Alabama, where I played collegiate tennis. In May 2014 I graduated with a degree in Professional Management & Sales from the Keller School of Business at North Alabama. Soon after graduation, my fiancé and I moved to Indiana to be closer to friends and begin our careers, and have been enjoying Indy ever since.

When outside the office you’ll almost always find me outdoors, whether that be on a tennis or basketball court, bike, or hiking with my friends and fiancé. I’m an avid outdoors & sports fan – closely following the University of Alabama athletics, the Colts, Pacers, and Indy Eleven.
