EV, the financial services technology provider, has appointed Kevin Okell (pictured) as a new non-executive director to its board, effective today, 1st October 2025.
Okell brings a wealth of experience to the role, having spent over 30 years in the sector.
Kevin Okell’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as EV focuses on its modular suite of financial planning and advice technology for enterprise-level partners.
These solutions are designed to deliver a consistent and seamless customer experience across all financial planning and advice channels, from guidance, targeted support, hybrid advice to holistic traditional advice.
Chet Velani, managing director at EV, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Kevin to EV. His deep industry knowledge and strategic insight will be invaluable as we continue to grow and innovate. Kevin’s unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities within the enterprise sector will be a significant asset to our team and our partners.”
Okell said: “Over my 15-plus years at Altus Consulting, EV featured in numerous technology selections for clients. Their solutions always scored well, the engineering was solid, and the culture very similar to our own.
“When the opportunity arose to join their Board, I jumped at the chance to be part of the next EV chapter. EV already has a unique set of solutions that works across all guidance and advice channels.
“This advantage will only be amplified with their work in the AI space to drive operational efficiency and consumer engagement, and the arrival of Targeted Support.”
