Liz Howard has been appointed Chief Financial Officer; John Gilbrook has been named Senior Vice President, North American Sales; and Brian McKinnon has joined as Vice President of Channel Partnerships and Alliances. These strategic executive additions will operate out of EVPassport’s Boston office and fuel its commitment to driving incremental value and long-term customer relationships.

The new East Coast headquarters will house product, sales, engineering and additional corporate functions. The company currently has offices in Santa Monica, California and Barcelona, Spain.

Howard brings more than two decades of experience leading high-performance finance teams at technology companies and investment firms. She joins EVPassport from Bevi, where she was Senior Vice President of Finance, overseeing the finance, legal, and enterprise technology functions.

Gilbrook joins EVPassport after a decade at ChargePoint, where he was Vice President of North American Commercial Sales, and responsible for leading its sales strategy, overseeing the commercial team, and enhancing customer value in the US and Canada.

As Vice President of Channel Partnerships and Alliances, McKinnon is tasked with establishing EVPassport’s channel strategy and scaling its partner ecosystem. With a proven track record of sales leadership within the channel, the former ChargePoint executive was instrumental in expanding the company’s channel program to include leading auto partnerships, global electrical distributors, and e-commerce channels.
