Hilco Global, a diversified financial services firm known for providing expert advisory and capital solutions across the business lifecycle, has announced a significant addition to its real estate practice. The company has appointed Rabbi Michael Siegel as Managing Director of Faith-Based Organization Advisory, a move that strengthens its dedicated Higher Education, Faith-Based and Non-Profit Real Estate and Advisory group.

Rabbi Siegel will focus on building out the firm's advisory services specifically tailored to faith-based institutions. His work will involve helping religious organizations navigate complex real estate challenges, including property portfolio management, asset disposition, and strategic planning for long-term sustainability.

The appointment comes at a time when many religious and non-profit organizations are reassessing their physical footprints due to shifting congregational demographics and evolving community needs. Hilco's specialized practice aims to provide these institutions with the same level of financial and operational expertise that commercial clients have long relied upon.

With decades of leadership experience in both congregational life and institutional governance, Rabbi Siegel brings a unique perspective to the role. His background includes extensive work in community building and organizational development, which aligns with Hilco's goal of delivering value-driven solutions to mission-focused clients.

The expansion underscores Hilco Global's commitment to serving a broader range of institutions with tailored real estate strategies.
