Chris Geier Becomes Managing Partner and CEO of Sikich LLP

Chris Geier's tenure as managing partner and CEO of professional services firm Sikich LLP officially began on Jan. 1, with Geier replacing former CEO Jim Sikich, who plans to retire at the end of 2017.

The firm's partners elected Geier to the role of managing partner and CEO in May of 2016. In his new role, Geier will oversee Sikich's strategic direction and future growth. Before becoming CEO, Geier, who joined Sikich in 2008, was partner-in-charge of the firm's advisory services and investment banking practice and a member of the executive board.

Geier, who has held C-level operating roles at private and publicly traded companies, has more than 20 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions and capital raising transactions across multiple industries.

"It's an exciting time of growth for Sikich, and I am ready to get to work as the firm's new leader," Geier said in a statement. "I have been involved in the firm's leadership for several years and am very familiar with the depth of expertise and talent across our many practice areas. I am confident we are well-positioned to achieve our ambitious growth goals in the years ahead."
