I told you last month that we’d be highlighting our team in a monthly video series and this month it’s Nell’s turn. A former petroleum engineer, Nell cold emailed me four years ago after hearing me interviewed on a podcast. The way Nell’s brain works caught my attention, both in her writing and in the subsequent call. Nell is now a trusted partner and leader of Hill Investment Group. She’s even got a nickname. We call her “Sheriff Schiffer” for the kind but firm way she has us all following a strict process. We hope you enjoy watching and listening to Nell describe how she found her “dream job” at Hill Investment Group.

Nell Schiffer and her husband, Walter (Dr. Schiffer is what we call him formally), recently explored Rocky Mountain National Park just outside of Estes Park, CO. She took in some stunning views, including this one that reminds us of our Hill Investment Group logo.

Hill Investment Group is proud to announce that PJ McDaniel and Nell Schiffer will join Matt Hall and John Reagan as Partners. See the story in the St. Louis Business Journal here.

“It’s a huge honor to be invited into the partnership group at Hill Investment Group,” says Nell. “Since the day I interviewed, it’s been my dream to help shape the Island of Idealism for our clients and team. This next chapter will be a great one.”

Nell’s rare combination of technical ability and interpersonal instincts makes her an indispensable member of the team. As HIG’s first COO, Nell has played a pivotal role in building on the organic magic that used to live in Matt and Rick’s heads. Today, the firm runs on a reliable set of systems, second nature to Nell and now to HIG.

As HIG’s Head of Business Development, PJ has been instrumental in building relationships with successful families who want to Take the Long View. His experience balancing growth with high-touch service puts him in an ideal position to help lead HIG into the future.

“My time at HIG has given me a perspective that few people are fortunate enough to have, and I’m ready to pay it forward,” says PJ. “We’ve always had big visions, and now we have the team in place to make it all happen.”

“Hill Investment Group is special because of our people,” says Matt Hall. “Nell and PJ are truly exceptional and have earned their way to the ownership and leadership table. I sincerely believe these two are among the best in our industry.”
