Chief Revenue Officer Cognism

Last Reviewed: September 27, 2026

Executive Summary

Chris Evans is Chief Revenue Officer of Cognism, the London company that provides AI-enabled B2B sales intelligence and says its aim is to be the go-to platform for accurate, complete and compliant B2B data in Europe. Cognism appointed him in September 2025, at the same time as it named Dominic Allon Chief Executive, to run its Revenue team across sales, customer success and operations. He came from Mapal Group, where he was Deputy CEO. Before that he spent the bulk of his career at Intuit, where he rose from UK Sales Director to VP and UK Country Manager and ran QuickBooks UK through Making Tax Digital and Open Banking.

Career Highlights

• Appointed Chief Revenue Officer of Cognism on 9 September 2025; still listed in that role on the company’s leadership page.
• Served as Deputy CEO of Mapal Group immediately before joining Cognism.
• Named VP and UK Country Manager at Intuit in February 2019, stepping up from UK Sales Director after eight years with Intuit UK.
• Led QuickBooks UK through Making Tax Digital and Open Banking, supporting small businesses as they moved to digital accounting.

Professional Journey

Evans built his career at Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks. By early 2019 he had been with Intuit UK for eight years and was its UK Sales Director. In February 2019 the company made him VP and UK Country Manager. He succeeded Dominic Allon, who moved up to SVP International. As Country Manager he led QuickBooks UK through a period of major regulatory change, including Making Tax Digital and Open Banking, and Cognism credits him with driving significant growth and helping UK small businesses adopt digital accounting.

He later joined Mapal Group as Deputy CEO. Cognism’s announcement names this as his most recent role before Cognism but does not give dates for it.

In September 2025 Cognism appointed him Chief Revenue Officer. Allon joined at the same time as Chief Executive, so the two work together again after their time at Intuit. Cognism said his experience across sales, customer success and operations made him well placed to align its Revenue team. Evans said his focus would be on making sure the go-to-market teams turn Cognism’s data advantage into measurable results for customers. The company has continued to name him as CRO, including in a newsroom article in April 2026 and on its current leadership page.
