Kent Llewelyn joins as Chief Technology Officer with a wealth of experience in finance and digital transformation thanks to his time as CIO and CTO at TAB Bank in Utah. He was also named as one of the 10 Best CIOs of 2020 by Industry Era. As CTO, he will drive further innovation of BOND.AI’s Empathy Engine® to meet the demands of modern banks and credit unions, where his industry insight will be vital to the development of BOND.AI’s core products.

“It was the Empathy Engine that caught my attention,” said Kent Llewelyn. “The whole goal of BOND.AI is to help educate people about their finances. We can give them an understanding of their financial health and what they can do right now to improve it. Applications like ours can help them become financially independent by utilizing all the tools they have available and aren’t exclusive to the people that already have a lot of money.”

Amit Dhongde joins as Head of Technology, where he will help streamline processes and procedures for BOND.AI’s India team and elevate the customer-service experience for global customers. Over the past 25+ years, he has worked with leading firms like Cummins, Accenture, and Cognizant.
