The Poarch Creek Bank of Indians has named Suresh Geer as its new Chief Financial Officer, the tribe announced in a release Tuesday.

Geer spent 21 years as part of the financial team for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, including the past seven as its CFO.

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians are descendants of a segment of the original Creek Nation, which at one time covered nearly all of Alabama, as well as Georgia.

They have lived together for nearly 200 years in and around their reservation in Poarch in southwestern Alabama.
