Jeff Muller, former director of special projects at Atlantix Partners, was appointed chief operating officer at Rise8.
The Tampa, Florida-headquartered software development company said Tuesday Muller will be responsible for accelerating growth for Rise8 through strategic planning, organizational development and information technology and human resources optimization.
“Jeff brings nearly three decades of proven expertise helping organizations grow both organically and through M&A,” remarked Rise8 CEO Bryon Kroger. “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.”
Muller also worked as COO at CFO Alliance, which was acquired by Atlantix Partners. His career includes time holding senior leadership roles at Hunt Capital Holdings and MMA Capital Management.
Great Place to Work Certification for Rise8
Aside from growing its leadership team with Muller’s appointment, Rise8 also marked another Great Place to Work achievement. The certification, which was awarded to the company for the third consecutive year, highlights employees’ work experience. In 2024, 98 percent of company workforce said Rise8 is a great place to work.
