WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Active Navigation, the data privacy and governance software provider, has appointed Christian Geyer as its new Chief Financial and Operations Officer. Geyer is based at the company’s U.S. headquarters in Washington, D.C. His appointment comes on the heels of Active Navigation’s first round of institutional funding, an $11 million Series A led by Mobeus in November 2019. Geyer will strengthen the company’s leadership team and oversee its continued growth and geographic expansion.
“I am very pleased to welcome Christian on board,” said Peter Baumann, Active Navigation CEO. “Christian’s steady hand at the operational and financial helm, combined with his experience scaling high-growth companies is exactly what we need at this exciting juncture of our company.”
Geyer said, “I’m delighted to join Active Navigation and to contribute to the next phase of the company’s growth. Over the years, they have invested in becoming the premier data mapping solution, a strategic capability that has moved to the top of the list of priorities for organizations as they evaluate their data privacy posture.”
“Christian’s proven strengths in strategy, management and analytics will provide a timely boost to our efforts during this difficult period,” Baumann added. “We will find immediate value with his leadership as our team continues to work non-stop amid the current COVID-19 crisis to ensure there is minimal disruption for our employees, our partners and our customers.”
Over a 20-year career that has taken Geyer from supporting the Intelligence Community to SMB Government Integrators and now an acclaimed leader in the data mapping sector, Geyer has built a reputation for success in driving rapid and sustainable growth in various industries.
Prior to joining Active Navigation, Geyer served as Vice President of Finance and Treasury at information security consulting organization ZP Group, where he helped propel the company from $15 million to nearly $100 million in revenue in less than three years. He was also part of the team which raised more than $18 million from new investors.
Before that, Geyer oversaw the FP&A and Business Analytics functions at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), where his teams focused on supporting strategic decision making, growth initiatives, and business. Before joining CNA, Geyer held positions of increasing responsibility at QinetiQ North America and the Office of Naval Research.
