Dallas-based evolv Consulting recently promoted Mirain Chilton to chief financial officer. Chilton came to the firm in 2023 as its vice president of finance.

In her new role as CFO, Chilton serves on the executive team and drives evolv’s financial strategy, positioning the company for long-term, sustainable growth. In leading teams, she focuses on operational excellence, financial discipline, and strategic investment, aligning fiscal priorities with evolv’s comprehensive business objectives, the company said.

evolv CEO Eric Neef said that since joining evolv, “Mirain has consistently demonstrated exceptional financial leadership, strategic insight, and a deep commitment to our mission.”

“Her ability to bring clarity to complex challenges and guide thoughtful, data-driven decisions has been instrumental to our growth and operational maturity,” Neef added in a statement. “We look forward to continued momentum and long-term success as she steps into this role and helps shape the next chapter of evolv.”

Known for her transparency and thoughtful problem-solving approach, Chilton will play a pivotal role in fostering informed decision-making and maintaining a strong, resilient foundation for evolv’s continued success, the company said.

“evolv’s core values of integrity, humility, purpose, and drive have guided me throughout my journey here, and they continue to shape how we build and grow the firm,” Chilton said. “Our success is not driven by any one individual, but by a collective team united around a shared vision.”

“In this new role, I’m committed to stewarding our financial foundation with transparency and intention, so we can continue investing in our people, our clients, and our long-term mission to be the consulting firm of choice through authentic, relationship-driven work,” she added.

An AI and data business transformation consultancy, evolv partners with organizations around the globe to “execute complex initiatives with speed, clarity, and intention.” The company said it has a team of experienced operators and continual learners who work with companies at all stages, from brand-new startups to Fortune 100 enterprises, to provide solutions that fit clients’ needs and “empower them to thrive.”
