Socure Appoints Chung-Man Tam as Chief Product Officer, Names Pablo Abreu Chief AI and Innovation Officer

Expansion of executive bench adds product leadership and accelerates Socure’s lead in identity and risk infrastructure for the AI era

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Socure, the leading trust infrastructure for global identity and risk intelligence, today announced the appointment of Chung-Man Tam as Chief Product Officer (CPO) and Pablo Abreu as Socure's first Chief AI and Innovation Officer.

Together, these executive appointments strengthen Socure’s ability to deliver for customers at a time when identity and fraud prevention have taken on new urgency. Socure's network has recorded an 8,000% increase in AI-driven fraud attacks over the past year alone. As AI agents begin executing high-stakes decisions autonomously across every sector, and as digital interactions replace the last remaining moments of human verification, the demand for trusted, real-time identity infrastructure has never been greater or more consequential.

Under the new leadership, the company emphasizes its track record of success with AI and machine learning while adding Tam’s extensive product and platform experience. Socure’s product roadmap will continue to anticipate the Fraud 4.0 landscape and deliver a unified platform that serves as the single source of truth for every identity and risk decision an enterprise makes.

"Chung-Man knows how to recognize a technology shift, make the bold call, and build a product organization that executes," said Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO of Socure. "We have built the most powerful identity and risk infrastructure in the world — the data, the AI, the graph, the platform — and the next chapter is making sure these elements combine into indispensable infrastructure for every enterprise. With Chung-Man leading the product and Pablo focused entirely on our AI and innovation agenda, we have the best team to define the future of identity."

Tam sets the vision and direction for Socure's product management, design, and broader product and platform roadmap, translating the company's technical capabilities and AI strengths into cohesive customer workflows. He will leverage his deep product experience to build on Socure’s successful evolution of RiskOS® into the definitive unified fraud, compliance, and risk decisioning platform.

"What drew me to Socure is the rare combination of extraordinary data, world-class AI capability, and a team that is genuinely mission-driven," said Chung-Man Tam, Chief Product Officer of Socure. "Identity is the most consequential problem in the global economy today, and Socure is uniquely positioned to solve it. My focus will be on ensuring that our platform becomes the single source of truth for every identity and risk decision globally — built around our customers’ workflows and valuable outcomes. We’ve built something the industry has not seen before, and I am proud to be part of it."

As Socure’s first Chief AI and Innovation Officer, Abreu will drive forward the company's core intellectual property, including data science, data strategy, modeling, the identity graph, and forward-looking AI innovation — areas central to Socure's long-term competitive advantage.

“With over 11 years building Socure’s products and driving innovation across the business, progressing to Chief AI and Innovation Officer is a natural next step for me,” said Pablo Abreu, Chief AI and Innovation Officer at Socure. “Early on, we made a conscious decision to invest in data science, feature engineering, ML modeling, and AI. Being the original AI-native leader in the space has always helped us maintain a competitive edge and deliver real innovation. As our business scales, I look forward to expanding our competitive data moat, leading modeling accuracy and outperformance, and accelerating AI-driven innovation through the use of autonomous agents.”

Socure’s executive appointments follow rapid growth in Q1 2026 and will ensure that as Socure scales its product organization, the underlying intelligence layer rapidly transforms the industry.
