Effective Jan. 1, Chief Financial Officer Ryan Spohn has assumed the additional role of Chief Operating Officer. Spohn, who also serves on Sikich’s Board of Managers, will oversee both financial and operational functions to enhance efficiency and strategic alignment across the organization.
“Ryan is one of my most trusted advisers, and I am absolutely confident that his financial expertise and strong business acumen will help us drive greater operational efficiency and performance as we execute our ambitious growth plan,” said Christopher Geier, chairman and CEO of Sikich. “He will work in close collaboration with our business pillar leadership to drive organic growth, expand our service offerings, and streamline the acquisition integration process.”
Spohn has been Sikich’s CFO for the past six years. A graduate of Indiana University, he holds an MBA in finance and economics from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
“Mike’s deep relationships across private wealth firms, private equity groups and the leveraged lending community, combined with his sophisticated financing expertise, are a perfect fit for our organization,” said Rick Herbst, principal of investment banking at Sikich.
