This might be because Owen is (at least according to CEA’s website) part of CEA’s ‘team’ as a strategic advisor and trustee of CEA UK. It’s not obvious (at least not obvious enough to avoid confusion) in which capacity Owen is speaking here and assuming that’s in relation to one of his roles at CEA is not that farfetched (even if it might not be correct).
Also, CEA is not distinct from EV, they are a project/brand of EV, but legally fully part of it. (There is no such thing as a ‘fiscal sponsor’ in UK law.) It’s unclear to me how much CEA have their own governance structure.
While Owen’s page does say “trustee of CEA UK” I’m pretty sure it should say “trustee of EVF”. I’ve written to EVF to point this out (along with some other places that need fixing)

I’d also guess that this is the case, but it helps create the confusion that CEA is involved.
