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.

I joined Pinnacle Partners in September of 2014 as an IT Recruiter. I love the opportunity to help people transition into a new career that fits a candidate’s goals and aspirations.

I enjoy spending time with my family. I am an avid Colts, Pacers, IU basketball and Michigan.

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. My hobbies include coaching youth athletics and serving on the Board of Directors for the Franklin Boys and Girls Club and the Franklin Wrestling Club. I enjoy being involved in the same youth programs that were so important to me when I was young.

Although this opportunity was exciting and challenging, I had a strong desire to move my career in a different direction. In 1990, I accepted a role as an IT Recruiter for a national staffing firm.

In 1993, my wife and I moved to Indianapolis where I joined a small staffing firm and continued in the role of IT staffing. For the next 6 years, I worked extensively throughout the Central Indiana area assisting countless companies and professionals with Information Technology staffing and career development. In 1999 I co-founded Pinnacle Partners with Herb Benshoof and Brian Treece.

After 8 years, the company sold and the culture quickly became different. At that time, I was recruited to join Pinnacle Partners, which was formed by former colleagues of mine. I have been at Pinnacle since 2001 as a Recruiter for the Accounting and Finance division. I have seen tremendous growth within my time at Pinnacle and yet the core beliefs of the company remain the same. To always provide the best customer service to both the company and the candidate. While everyone works hard in the company the owners have always had a deep respect for family obligations.

When I am not at Pinnacle, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and extended family.

In 2005, I wanted to branch out and expand my recruiting experience. I had the opportunity to join Pinnacle Partners in a role that would help to further develop their Administrative Recruiting Division as well as expose me to the staffing of accounting professionals. In 2012, I was promoted to Manager of Administrative Recruiters. I manage a staff of three who support the temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire administrative placement needs of our clients. I am excited to be a part of this growing division.

Pinnacle Partners is an organization that promotes a family-friendly environment for which I am very thankful. When I started seven years ago, I had a 9-month-old as well as a 2-year-old. As they grow, my children continue to be very active in school and recreational programs. My husband, Jason, and I are involved in each of their activities. I also enjoy working out, and I am currently training for my first half marathon. I am proud to work for a company that allows me to have a successful career while also balancing a family and maintaining an active lifestyle.

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 was raised in Merrillville, Indiana, and attended Indiana University where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting. I started my career in Chicago with a small public accounting firm. Although this was great experience, I was soon married and found myself relocating to Indianapolis with my husband. 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. In 2000, we returned back to Indianapolis where I joined Pinnacle Partners in a part time capacity. Part time evolved into full time as my children grew. I have held many positions at Pinnacle Partners, and I am now the Corporate Controller.

The company culture Pinnacle provides is one that any employee would be happy to be a part of.

HERB BENSHOOF

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

Growing up in Iowa, I learned the value of a strong work ethic at an early age. Losing my mother at the age of eight, I helped raise my younger brother and sister as my father worked two jobs to support four children. I began working at the age of 12, went on to work full and part-time jobs at CPA firms during my college years, and paid for my entire college education. 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.

Pinnacle Partners was cofounded in Indiana in September 1999 to assist Accounting, Finance and Information Technology professionals in locating career opportunities. Pinnacle Partners has helped hundreds of candidates each year develop their career strategies. Pinnacle Partner’s unique approach to understanding an individual’s career/personal wish list has made Pinnacle Partner’s one of the leaders in professional staffing.

After graduation I accepted a sales management role that allowed me to move to sunny south Florida. This was a great experience that allowed me to spend the next 4 years traveling all over the United States. During that time I was lucky enough to visit 42 states. When it was time to settle down and plant my roots I returned to central Indiana to be near family and friends.

When Pinnacle Partners decided to grow their Engineering & Manufacturing Recruiting division they reached out to me and I was so impressed with their culture and the success they have had in the Finance, Accounting and IT business units that I was thrilled to join their team. Pinnacle has a strong focus on customer service and always doing what is in the best interest of both clients and candidates. Since joining Pinnacle the support from all levels has been phenomenal.

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 joined the Pinnacle team in 2001 and it’s been a great experience for me. With over 21 years of industry experience in the Indianapolis Marketplace, I have been able to meet some incredible clients and candidates. I enjoy developing strong business relationships with my clients and helping them to meet their strategic goals through staffing. Pinnacle was only three years old when I started and it’s been wonderful to see the growth. I truly believe our growth is due to our focus on doing what is right for both our candidates and our clients and never losing sight of their needs.

When I am not at work, I like to spend time with my husband and son. We like to travel and enjoy spending time with our extended family.

I held several positions during my 15 year tenure there. The 2 longest positions being a media center assistant and then a front office/attendance secretary at the High School.

We moved to the Indianapolis area a little over a year ago to be closer to my son and his family. Our granddaughter was the big motivation for our move!

I am proud to be a part of Pinnacle Partners and enjoy helping others and watching them be successful. I look forward to many years of service with this outstanding company.

I have a true passion for helping my clients and candidates find the right match.

I consulted 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 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 watching a variety of activities with my two girls which are in cheer and play soccer. I am also an active participant in National Charity League-Crossroads Chapter here locally.

Don’t settle for being average at everything – be great at something. My true passion within Human Resources is the employment laws. Right after graduating college I began my career working at a fortune 500 pharmaceutical company for almost 4 years. After that I branched off into HR at a non for profit.

The importance of family was instilled in me at an early age and probably why I enjoy team environments like sports and being here at Pinnacle. I have played baseball all my life, and I have also played football and basketball. I am actually pretty good at ping-pong unless my girlfriend is around. Anything competitive I am mostly likely game to play. I am a White Sox (still holding on), and big Bears fan. I am a major Notre Dame and Florida Gators fan. I also enjoy watching the Oklahoma City Thunder. If I am not out and active, I am most likely lounging around keeping track of my fantasy football team.

I was born in Biloxi, MS, where my family was stationed while my dad served in the Navy. We ended up moving to Fort Wayne, IN, which was where my parents were originally from. I spent most of my life there, spending time with family, friends, and my running shoes. I attended a small, private high school, and graduated with around 170 students.

When it came time to find a university, I fell in love with IUPUI, located in the downtown part of Indianapolis. I hadn’t heard of it until I was recruited to run there, and I still see it as a gem of the city. (Go Jags)

I was lucky to be a part of the cross country and track team while I was there, which only helped to mold my competitive nature. I am so excited and grateful join the Pinnacle Partners team and to channel my competitiveness into something additional to sports.

In my free time, I like to hang out with friends and family (just like everyone, I know). I also enjoy reading and circling places on my Europe map of places I’d like to travel to. Any suggestions, just let me know.

ALESIA ROBINSON

ADMINISTRATIVE RECRUITER

I am from Whiteland, IN. I did move a lot as a kid (Army Brat), I lived in Germany for a couple of years before moving back to Indiana permanently. I graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I was involved in many on campus organizations, including Kappa Delta Sorority and raising funds and participating in Riley Children’s Hospital’s Dance Marathon. Pinnacle Partners is my first career out of college. I cannot wait for the opportunity, experience, and relationships that being an Administrative Recruiter for Pinnacle will bring me.

Outside the office I enjoy binge watching Netflix shows and being with friends, family, and my dogs. I would love to travel more and adopt a dog in the future.

THERESA LAUTERBACH

IT RECRUITER

I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I graduated with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Dayton. Upon graduating from UD, I was a full-time sales associate at Von Maur. After being with the company for several months I was promoted to an executive management role which brought me to Indianapolis. After a couple years as a floor manager, I decided to make a career out of my interest in the hiring process. I am now an IT Recruiter for Pinnacle Partners.

In my free time I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for cooking through my personal blog. I am still in the development stage of my blog and I thoroughly enjoy the process of creating my recipes and sharing my skills thus far. I also enjoy developing my photography portfolio as well as getting involved in my church.

I was born in Indianapolis and moved to Virginia, Montana, and then back to Indianapolis before I was 9 years old.

JESSICA READ

IT RECRUITER

I was born in China and moved all the way to the US and settled in the small southern Indiana town of Seymour, IN. I grew up figure skating, running cross country, and playing in corn fields like any good southern Indiana gal. After college, I dabbled in a couple of sales jobs before falling into recruiting, and it was love at first sight.

My passion for recruiting can be traced back to my pre-professional days. Whether as a member of my college Ultimate Frisbee team at IU, desperately trying to recruit players for a sport no one’s heard of, or as a high schooler trying to set up an adult reading program in my hometown. I’ve been on a recruiting path from the very beginning, Why, you might ask? I like getting others excited and motivated for their next big chapter in life. As a recruiter at Pinnacle Partners, I can’t wait to get you excited about a new job in IT!

Outside of the office, I’m probably doing one of three things. I’m either, A. Doing my best to taste every craft beer in Indiana. B. Spending time with friends and enjoying this thing called my 20s, or C. Trying to “recruit” people as crazy as me to play on my club Ultimate team.

JENNIFER HASLETT

IT RECRUITER

I grew up in Indianapolis and attended North Central High school, where I graduated with honors. I earned 2 Bachelor’s degrees from Indiana University- Purdue University, Indianapolis – Economics and Communication. I am married to an amazing husband and we have a pittie at home, “Zoey” who we adore.

The majority of my work history has been in sales (Telecommunication and Advertising). In 2019, I joined Pinnacle Partners as an IT recruiter. I can draw many parallels to my time in sales and have really enjoyed helping people find their next great job in IT! I am confident that I can help any talented IT professional excel in the Indianapolis job market.

In my time off, I enjoy travel and am passionate about seeing the world. I’ve been all over but consider the Caribbean to be my absolute favorite place to visit. When I’m not at work (or on vacation), I enjoy live music, playing with my dog and spending time with my family and friends. I am also passionate about and involved in many philanthropic organizations and projects.

HUNTER BRUMMETT

ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING RECRUITER

I grew up in Plainfield, IN and lived there until I was 11 and then my family and I moved to Fort Wayne. I went to Homestead high school and graduated in 2015. I attended Bethel College in Mishawaka Indiana. I was given the opportunity to play softball there for the 4 years that I attended and it was such an amazing experience. I graduated with a Bachelors in Engineering and Management in 2019. After graduating I decided to move to the Indy area to explore my many opportunities to grow as an individual. In my spare time I like to go on little adventures around Indiana and just explore nature. I also love listening to music and binging TV shows or movies on Netflix/Hulu.

I am excited to be part of the Pinnacle Partners family and to be able to learn and grow in a new area of my life. The people that I work with are so cool and helpful and I’m happy that I get to be here.

SCOTT ADAMS

Senior IT Recruiter

I’ve resided local to Indianapolis, IN my entire life, graduating from Noblesville High School. I then graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Hospitality Management with a Minor in Marketing.

I have a previous 10 (+) year career in Food & Beverage, but I made the transition to Recruiting in 2011, supporting Salem International University as an Online Admissions Recruiter. This was a fabulous experience in that I was able to be the catalyst for many students who found themselves on a non-traditional, educational path. In the Spring of 2013, I began my career in Talent Acquisition, building meaningful relationships, providing top talent and being absolutely engaged at every level. Industries I’ve successfully supported include Enterprise Banking, State and Federal Government, Automotive and Medical Device Engineering.

I’ve been happily married to my wife, Brittany, since November of 2010, and we have 2 daughters, Olivia and Quinly. We still frequent Deer Creek, and yes, I still call it Deer Creek! I enjoy cooking, the gaming industry, big-family holidays, and I’m very excited to be a part of the continued success of Pinnacle Partners.
