Evan Cummack is CEO of Fin.com. Prior to joining Fin in 2021, Evan spent 10 years at Twilio, contributing to the company's incredible growth from Series B through to IPO and beyond. Evan was born and raised in a small coastal town on New Zealand's North Island. Despite limited access to technical expertise, he developed an obsession not only with computers and software but with the unique competitiveness and creativity of the software industry. Enamored with Noah Wyle's depiction of Steve Jobs in the 1999 TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, Evan was certain the pirate life was for him. After studying Software Engineering and Business in New Zealand, Evan headed for Silicon Valley and quickly found a home at Twilio, which would go on to become one of the fastest-growing software companies in history. Evan considers his 10-year stint at Twilio as a "Ph.D. in SaaS," learning from "the best software CEO in the world today."
