Mike Geller, executive VP in Edelman’s financial & capital markets practice, has joined Prosek Partners as managing director.
He joined Edelman’s financial practice in 2011 as senior VP with a focus on providing strategic communications counsel to founders, corporate executives and leaders of private investment and publicly traded institutions.
Geller helps companies manage communications in such special situations as M&A, divestitures, leadership transitions, complex litigation, creditor rights, enforcement actions and regulatory matters.
Prior to Edelman, Geller led PR for Royal Bank of Scotland’s Americas investment bank and held corporate communications jobs at Pershing LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald. He began his career at Moody’s.
Jennifer Prosek, managing partner, had Geller as a client from his work at RBS. “Mike is someone that we have gotten to know over the years and come to admire for his strong work ethic, leadership abilities and for his skills as both a communicator and counselor,” she said.
