Tim Spidel

Managing Partner

Tim is a specialist in wealth management executive recruitment who enjoys presenting companies with ambitious, talented candidates who are well-suited personally as well as professionally for a new opportunity.  

Prior to founding Spidel Burnfin in 2007, Tim spent 11 years with the international search firm of SBR, working in their Nashville and Chicago offices.  Tim has run a successful desk in the wealth management industry since he began in this profession in 1996.

He represents companies that include single family offices, multi-family office groups, fee-based Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and investment management firms.  Although Spidel Burnfin is based in the Midwest, the firm serves clients nationwide. Tim is an active member of IRSA (International Retained Search Association), Family Wealth Alliance, UHNW Institute and is a regular attendee at the Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning.

Tim grew up in the small town of Kendallville, Indiana, before attending Indiana University where he graduated with a degree in Health Administration. After spending some wonderful years living in Nashville and Chicago, Tim and his family moved to the Indianapolis area. Tim, his wife and their three children currently reside in Carmel, IN with their dog, Theo.

When he isn’t recruiting, you’ll find him volunteering with the wonderful Indianapolis-based charity Dayspring Center, seeing live music, supporting his Chicago Cubs and Bears teams and spending time with family. Tim is also an aficionado when it comes to 80's music (particularly the "hair" bands")!
