Welcome to PennHill
PennHill is more than and executive search firm. While those persons that occupy the C, Suite are very important to the success of organizations, they need solid contributors around them. For that reason, we are providing many of our clients with their “Executives of Tomorrow”. By being involved with client’s strategic growth plans or simple providing talent as needed Penn Hill is a go to source on multiple levels. Many of those middle management professionals we placed in years past are now leaders in their companies.

TIM HARRELSON
PRESIDENT
I am the President of Penn Hill Associates, I’ve worked in the Financial Services Industry since 1978. My peer group includes many of the leaders of the companies we work with. I’ve worked with the Penn Hill Team making several major business and technological innovations. Penn Hill has provided consulting and recruiting services to hundreds of companies in the Financial Services industry.
After serving in the United States Navy and receiving an honorable discharge, I started my career with Landmark Financial Services. Working for several major financial institutions as an executive, has given me an intimate and wide-reaching understanding of the industry. This knowledge, combined with personal ethics, has given me the opportunity to become one of the top recruiters in our field.
I am involved in AFSA sponsored events for his entire career. Currently, I sit on several AFSA Advisory Boards. I am married to Elaine and we have 3 children and 5 lovely grandchildren. In my spare time I enjoy cruising the river, hanging out on the beach and playing golf. I’ve recently help start Coastal Life Community Church. We are dedicated to serving all the people in the community.
