“Our ongoing growth, and that of our various operating partners across the country, depends on the effective external and internal communication of key data, insights, and messages,” said David Gentile, founder and CEO of GPB Capital. “Brian’s many years of experience managing alternative investment platforms, products, and strategies position him well to help us best utilize our in-house communications and marketing services to achieve our goals.”

Weisenberger graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor’s degree in economics and holds a chartered financial analyst designation.

Earlier this month, GPB hired Michael Cohn to serve as managing director and chief compliance officer. Cohn was most recently a securities compliance examiner and industry expert in the asset management unit of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement Division.
