Prior to his promotion, Geisler served as head of finance and CCO at Activant. He joined the firm in August last year. He was previously senior vice-president at Citco Fund Services, vice president at Blackrock and controller at Olympus Capital.

Geisler is replacing Neeta Rastogi Singh, who held the COO role while unofficially functioning as the CFO from December 2017 until June 2022. Singh is now the CFO/COO at Unreasonable Group.

When Geisler joined as head of finance, it was planned that he would eventually take over the CFO function, a spokesperson said.

Activant has $1.5 billion assets under management, and is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, with offices in New York City, Berlin, and Cape Town.
