Rise8, a company delivering elite software development for critical missions, welcomed Jeff Muller to its leadership team as Chief Operating Officer. With over 25 years of experience in finance, operations, mergers and acquisitions, and international development, Muller will play a critical role in catalyzing Rise8’s growth through strategic planning, organizational development, and IT and HR optimization.
Muller most recently served as the Chief Operating Officer at CFO Alliance. After the company was acquired by Atlantix Partners, he served as the Director of Special Projects, focusing on post-acquisition integration. Muller has also held senior leadership roles at Hunt Capital Holdings and MMA Capital Management, where he served as the chair of the company’s Capital Investment Committee. Muller holds a PhD in Economics from Stanford University, consulted for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and was a Peace Corps volunteer.
“Jeff brings nearly three decades of proven expertise helping organizations grow both organically and through M&A,” said Bryon Kroger, CEO, Rise8. “He has a deep understanding of operations across the financial, people, and IT facets of a company, which will accelerate Rise8’s aggressive growth goals, without sacrificing our core identity of challenging the status quo in government software development.”
