Peter Faubert
CFO, Treasurer and Secretary of Evolv Technology
As a father of five, Evolv’s mission of creating a safer world really speaks to me. I’m thrilled to be able to help the Evolv team fulfill its mission while also positioning the company for financial success. I’m a well-seasoned CFO with significant startup experience, having served with eight public and private technology companies over the last 20 years, five of them as CFO. Throughout my career, I have focused on building world-class teams as I’ve developed deep expertise in corporate finance, business administration, and management for entities ranging from early-stage to international public companies. I look forward to bringing my experience to Evolv as together we work to balance effective security and a positive visitor experience. I am a Massachusetts native; I love that Evolv is a company with local roots making a big impact on a global market.
