AI-powered investigative intelligence company, Yoono has appointed Ilan Davimes as Country Lead – Crown Dependencies and Strategic Clients, strengthening its commercial leadership team as the business continues to expand.
Ilan brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience spanning financial services, professional services and technology, with a track record in business growth, operational transformation and developing strategic partnerships across international markets.
In his new role, Ilan will lead Yoono’s commercial development across Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, engaging with organisations in regulated industries. He will also oversee strategic client relationships with businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions, supporting Yoono’s wider international growth ambitions.
Ilan joins with a career spanning financial services, professional services and technology, including CEO of Wozipo Capital and senior roles at Makosi Audit and Tax LLP. Since relocating to Jersey he has gained first-hand experience of investor onboarding, KYC and AML processes in the island’s funds industry, before founding Nali Solutions, a fractional COO and AI implementation consultancy.
His appointment comes as Yoono looks to expand the adoption of its AI-powered investigative intelligence platform, which enables organisations to conduct deeper due diligence and investigations by bringing together information from multiple public sources. The technology helps businesses understand individuals, companies and their relationships, supporting more informed, transparent and defensible decisions.
Commenting on Ilan’s appointment, Richard Tavernor, Founder and CEO of Yoono, said: “Ilan joins us at a critical time. Both Jersey and Guernsey recently underwent MONEYVAL evaluations with strong results, raising the bar for regulated firms to show their due diligence is thorough, consistent and defensible. As client structures become more complex and span more jurisdictions, manual research across fragmented public sources is struggling to keep pace.
“The Crown Dependencies represent an important market for Yoono, with internationally connected financial and professional services sectors where effective due diligence and investigative intelligence are essential. Ilan’s experience and established understanding of the Jersey market will be instrumental as we strengthen our presence across the islands and develop relationships with strategic clients internationally. He brings a valuable combination of commercial leadership, entrepreneurial experience and first-hand knowledge of the industries we serve.”
Ilan added: “AI is changing the rules faster than anyone can predict, but people will always do business with people they trust. I’ve built my career on that principle, which is what makes Yoono such a natural fit.
“It’s an exciting time to join the business, and I’m looking forward to helping take Yoono into its next phase of growth.”
Launched commercially in 2026, Yoono is an AI-powered investigative intelligence platform that helps organisations make informed, evidence-based decisions about people and businesses. By bringing together and analysing information from public sources, Yoono enables deeper investigations into individuals, companies and their relationships, supporting applications including enhanced due diligence, onboarding, third-party risk management and regulatory compliance.
