ProofID appoints Neil Evans as Chief AI Officer to lead AI transformation
Neil Evans will lead ProofID’s shift to an AI-native business and build new offerings for customers across EMEA and the Americas.
On Thursday, July 9, 2026, Manchester-headquartered identity security specialist ProofID appointed Neil Evans as its first Chief AI Officer to lead the company's transformation into an AI-native business.
The role addresses the critical challenge of securing, governing, and monitoring autonomous AI agents, building on ProofID's existing Agentic AI Enablement advisory practice that helps organisations secure these systems.
Evans brings more than 30 years of technology leadership, previously serving as cloud and mobile engineering leader at Music Tribe's Midas Division and holding a Master of Engineering in Microelectronics Systems Engineering from the University of Manchester.
"This is a rare opportunity to lead a transformation from the inside," Evans said, as he aims to embed an AI-native mindset while developing new AI-powered service offerings for ProofID's customers.
ProofID intends to position itself as a recognised leader in AI-enabled identity services across EMEA and the Americas, supporting its ambition to become an AI-native business while expanding its international market presence.
