The Hartsema Group

Jean Hilliard, CTP

Partner

Jean has been working with teams of banking professionals—and directly with bank clients—for over 30 years, leading sales, service and implementations groups with a refined focus on client satisfaction. Her banking career includes a number of top-tier financial services providers including Bank One/JPMorgan Chase, USBank and most recently Fifth Third Bank. She also has been responsible for shaping the focus and strategy around industry lines of business for government segments as well as financial institutions.

With a background spanning small businesses to the largest corporate clients, Jean has developed an appreciation for staying close to clients and understanding their needs and future plans. Listening became the common, important element so key to client engagement; asking the right questions and encouraging ongoing dialogue created powerful relationships and a path to success for all.

Jean has experienced firsthand the results of this method, and she knows that involving clients in shaping the future is not only a great way to build relationships, but also is critically important to ensuring that development efforts and investments are properly aligned.
