Rabbi Michael Siegel Joins Hilco Global to Advise Faith-Based Institutions

The appointment marks a strategic expansion for the Northbrook-based financial services firm, which aims to provide specialized support for non-profits and faith-based groups. These organizations are currently grappling with shifting membership demographics, evolving community expectations, and the necessity of maintaining institutional assets amid tightening financial pressures. Siegel’s role will involve helping governing bodies align their property and financial strategies with their long-term spiritual missions.

Michael Sheinkop, who oversees brokerage strategy and growth at Hilco, emphasized that the firm intends to blend traditional religious leadership with practical, multidisciplinary advisory services. By leveraging the broader Hilco Global platform, Siegel will work with stakeholders to evaluate governance models and develop sustainable paths for institutions that are often forced to choose between legacy traditions and modern fiscal realities. This move signals a growing market focus on mission-driven entities that require professional guidance to navigate generational transitions.
