Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. has appointed Henrik Kühl as a new independent director effective February 12, 2026, where he will also serve on the Audit Committee, bringing over 25 years of expertise in corporate strategy, M&A, and capital allocation from his leadership at Axon and prior roles at Goldman Sachs, IMAGE Skincare, and Herbalife.
Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a pioneer in AI-powered security screening solutions, announced the appointment of Henrik Kühl to its Board of Directors. Kühl, an experienced executive in corporate development and strategy, joins as an independent director and will contribute to the Audit Committee. The Board has affirmed his independence and designation as an audit committee financial expert per SEC standards.
Kühl currently serves as Senior Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development at Axon (NASDAQ: AXON), a leader in connected public safety technologies. In this capacity, he leads strategic growth initiatives, manages mergers and acquisitions, directs minority investments, cultivates partnerships, and optimizes capital allocation and structure. His tenure at Axon since 2019 has built on prior leadership positions, including senior operational and strategy roles at IMAGE Skincare supporting global expansion, six years in Goldman Sachs’ investment banking division advising on M&A, financings, and capital structure, and as Director of Strategic Planning at Herbalife.
Kühl holds an MBA in Finance and Marketing from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a BA in Economics, Diplomacy & World Affairs from Occidental College.
“We are thrilled to welcome Henrik to the Board,” said Neil Glat, Chair of the Board. “His extensive experience in corporate strategy, M&A and capital allocation—combined with his leadership at connected public safety companies and experience with related technologies—will be invaluable as Evolv advances its mission and long-term growth strategy. We believe that Henrik’s perspective will strengthen our ability to deliver operational excellence and shareholder value.”
Concurrently, Bilal Zuberi resigned from the Board on February 10, 2026. Zuberi was among the original venture capital investors who supported Evolv’s early funding and played a key role in its growth over 13 years. His resignation stems from a desire to pursue other opportunities and was not the result of any disagreement with the company’s leadership or Board.
Glat continued, “We extend our deepest gratitude to Bilal for his 13 years of dedicated service to the Company and the Board of Directors. Bilal has been an invaluable partner since the Company’s earliest days. His vision, guidance, and thoughtful perspectives have helped shape Evolv into the Company it is today. We will sincerely miss his tremendous contributions and insights and wish him continued success in his future pursuits.”
