CFP Board Announces Retirement of CEO
CFP® Board Updates
The CFP Board has announced that Kevin R. Keller, CAE, will retire as Chief Executive Officer on April 30, 2026, after nearly two decades of leadership. During his tenure, Keller played a pivotal role in transforming the CFP Board and elevating the financial planning profession. To ensure a seamless transition, the Board of Directors has initiated a succession process, including forming a search committee and engaging an executive search firm later this year.
Under Keller’s leadership, the CFP Board has achieved significant milestones, including nearly doubling the number of CFP® professionals to over 103,000, expanding public awareness of CFP® certification, and relocating its headquarters to Washington, D.C.. His tenure also saw the establishment of the Center for Financial Planning, which has enhanced diversity in the profession, and the creation of a 501(c)(6) professional organization to further financial planning careers. Additionally, more than $2 million in scholarships have been awarded to support aspiring CFP® professionals from diverse backgrounds.
