EVORA GLOBAL

Directorbank sources a CEO for EVORA Global to further strengthen market leadership and expand global reach.

Company background

Backed by Bridges Fund Management, EVORA Global is a sustainable investment and finance consultancy, ESG software and data provider with specialist expertise in the real asset sector.

With over 150 staff, the business has grown rapidly in recent years as demand for action on sustainable finance and climate risk has risen up the corporate agenda. Its market-leading software, SIERA, is an environmental management system which is already managing billions of pounds worth of real assets and is being rapidly adopted by large organisations across the globe.

Through EVORA consultancy and SIERA software, the business has quickly established itself as a ‘one-stop-shop’ of leading sustainability solutions.

The brief

To further strengthen its market leadership and expand global reach, EVORA required a proven CEO – a PE experienced leader with a background in B2B tech enabled services and a track record of driving product innovation, exceptional service and international expansion.

Directorbank’s George Heppenstall was mandated to help fill the position and, following a comprehensive search process to pinpoint ideal candidates, successfully introduced Carl Allen to the EVORA team.

The result

Carl brings extensive experience in Professional Services, SaaS and Managed Services, as well as leadership of private equity-backed businesses, which uniquely positions him to steer EVORA through its next phase of growth. His track record covers the design and execution of transformative business strategy, go-to market strategy, operational excellence and software delivery to drive profitable and capital efficient business growth.

Prior to joining EVORA, Carl held leadership positions at Myenergi, Strategic Blue, IBM and DXC Technology, where he played an instrumental role in driving business growth, restructuring organisations for success, and delivering critical enterprise software for clients.

“George understood our brief and brought knowledge and professionalism to the search process. Directorbank’s approach was thoroughly well-researched resulting in an outstanding appointment. Carl’s consulting and technology expertise will help EVORA to continue to deliver the highest quality innovative services to its clients and drive forward an ambitious growth plan.”
