Revell, a Zafin board member since 2019, is a 35-year experienced board member and senior executive with experience within the financial services, telecommunications and information technology sectors.

He has completed executive leadership programs at the Kellogg School of Management and Rotman School of Management, where he also earned an ICD.D. designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors
“As a former bank CIO, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible challenges financial institutions face when it comes to updating their technology stacks in order to deliver next-generation experiences for their customers,” Revell said. “Zafin’s unique ability to offer banks modular pathways to bring personalized products and pricing to market through their SaaS platform is a game-changer regardless of where an institution is on their core modernization journey.
