New York’s Geller & Company has named Jerry Leamon, formerly global managing director at Deloitte, as vice chairman of its advisory board - a newly-created role at the firm.

Leamon will advise Martin Geller, founder and chief executive, in addition to the firm’s senior leadership team, on a range of business matters.

The firm said Leamon and Geller have a “long-standing relationship” built over many years of working together on matters in which Deloitte and Geller have collaborated. Leamon will also support the firm as it grows its business lines and considers expansion into new areas.

Last month, Robert Wedeking was appointed as chief investment officer of the firm's family office and wealth advisory business, Geller Family Office Services.

Geller & Company was founded in 1984; its clients include businesses, non-profits and high net worth individuals and families.
