New owner for Pinnacle Search Partners

December 04, 2015

Pinnacle Search Partners LLC, an Atlanta-based executive search firm, announced William Creekmuir acquired the firm. He purchased Pinnacle from Mary Elizabeth Sadd, who sold the firm after deciding to take a role with another executive search firm.

The transaction closed Nov. 30; terms were not disclosed.

The Pinnacle Search Partners brand will remain and most executives will stay with the firm.

Creekmuir joined Pinnacle in October 2014 as executive consultant. He has held a leadership role with the firm since January 2015, and will now serve as president.

His prior experience includes executive VP and CFO of Simmons Bedding Company; executive VP and CFO of LADD Furniture Inc.; and 15 years working with international public accounting firm KPMG, where he was responsible for college recruiting in the Carolinas and was a partner.

Pinnacle’s staff includes 11 people. The firm is based in Atlanta but has team members working in Tennessee and Wisconsin. It also has a global reach through an alliance with SpenglerFox.
