Industry Thought Leader Kevin Porter to Join Ascent Advisory Board

Ascent Platform, the leader in digital experience solutions for financial institutions, announced that Kevin Porter has joined Ascent's advisory board. The addition of Kevin to the board signals Ascent's commitment to partner strategically with banks and credit unions in their digital transformation efforts.

With Kevin's guidance, Ascent will help financial institutions navigate both the technology and user experience challenges inherent in transformation strategy and design. Kevin's 25 years of experience in leading digital transformation will help Ascent align with clients' projects.

Throughout his career, Kevin Porter has challenged the status quo. He has led transformation at leading banks and credit unions, including 14 years at TD Bank, where he rose from a business development role to overseeing TD Bank's Omni Strategy. Today he is President and CEO of DxO Advisors, an advisory firm that partners with credit unions to optimize their digital channel performance, strategize their transition to a holistic digital banking platform, and differentiate their offering in the marketplace by delivering omni experiences for their members.

“Kevin's insights into financial institutions' current needs and how Ascent can best be used in their initiatives has already benefited us and our clients,” explained Arjun Sahgal, co-founder and CEO of Ascent. “Additionally, Kevin's guidance on our product strategy will ensure Ascent is future-proofing the platform to meet the industry's evolving requirements.”

“Ascent takes an enterprise-wide approach that is game-changing and frankly vital for any credit union working to level up their member experience,” Kevin states. “My objective is to help the Ascent team gain an understanding of how and where Ascent fits within a modern transformation project, so they can optimize outcomes for both the company and their client.”

About Ascent Platform

Ascent is the next-generation platform that provides financial institutions with the ability to streamline any and all product applications and forms without disrupting existing systems and processes.

Most importantly, the platform learns from every interaction, and uses those learnings to make subsequent experiences more contextual, with fewer questions for the member and less work for the associate. Using Ascent's no-code builder, institutions can rapidly configure and deploy beautiful bespoke applications and forms at their own pace.
