Brandon S. Hill President

Founder and President of Fusion Advisory Services,

Brandon Hill was recently named by the Birmingham

Business Journal as one of the “top 5 must-follow real

estate execs” in the area and was profiled by B-Metro

Magazine in its recent feature “NEXT: A new generation of young people are

pouring their hearts into Birmingham and making this a better city for all of us.”

Through Fusion’s economic development consultancy and tax credit brokerage,

Brandon provides advice and capital to projects in the Southeast, with a focus on

underserved states and rural areas. These projects often utilize Federal, State and

local incentives and have high community impact that would otherwise be

unavailable, such as job creation, rehabilitation of historic buildings, increased

access to fresh food, and provision of social, medical and educational services.

Through specialization in public/private financing with multiple layers of

complex financing, in the last two years Brandon has arranged over $10 million

in combined tax credit equity and bridge funding in Alabama alone, and

currently represents a pipeline of over $50 million such transactions in three

states. His most recently completed project provided financing for the

rehabilitation and conversion of Birmingham's 91-year old Historic Redmont

Hotel into Alabama's first luxury property to carry the Curio, a Collection by

Hilton flag.

Prior to founding Fusion, Brandon spent over 10 years in public accounting and

consulting providing professional services for PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst &

Young, and Fortune 1,000 corporations across the USA, Canada, and Europe, in

the fields of insurance, banking, real estate investment, healthcare, higher

education, and manufacturing. His clients have included AIG, Union Planters

Bank, Protective Life, HealthSouth Corporation, the University of Alabama

System, Wolseley plc., Stock Building Supply, Ferguson Enterprises, Southwire,

Gestamp, Southern Company, Alabama Power, and Harbert Management

Corporation. After having resided in New York and Austin, and spending

extended stints in Toronto, Memphis, and Atlanta during his career, Brandon

decided in 2012 to plant roots in Birmingham by founding Fusion. Since joining

the entrepreneurial wave and resurgence of the Magic City, Brandon has been

active in the advocacy for and implementation of new economic development

programs in the State of Alabama, such as the Alabama New Markets Tax Credit

and Alabama Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit.

Brandon is an associate member of ULI-the Urban Land Institute and currently

serves as Chair for Mission Advancement for ULI Birmingham. In this role, he

ensures that ULI practices, policies, and programs are integrated into the District

Council's activities and outreach, and is currently coordinating the application

process for ULI Birmingham to gain recognition as a stand-alone council as ULI

Alabama. Brandon's community involvement also includes service as Director of

local non-profits YPBirmingham and Bessemer Hall of History, and as a member

of the Rotaract Club of Birmingham. A native and resident of Birmingham,

Brandon holds an International Baccalaureate Diploma from the IBO in Geneva,

Switzerland and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of

Alabama.
