Kimel brings over three decades of experience in financial strategy, with a background rooted in profit maximization and cost optimization. Before stepping into this role, he founded the consulting firm Pricimetrics and held a senior vice president position at OmniSource United. His transition to CFO requires him to vacate his current seat on the KULR board, where he previously presided over the audit committee.

To fill the resulting vacancy and bolster its commercial oversight, the company appointed Steven Perez as an independent board member. Perez arrives with 25 years of experience in product marketing and go-to-market execution, having recently concluded a tenure in director-level enterprise sales roles at Twilio. These changes signal a deliberate shift toward integrating deeper financial analytics with broader enterprise sales expertise.
