Socure, a provider of identity and risk intelligence infrastructure, has named Chung-Man Tam as its CPO and Pablo Abreu as its inaugural chief AI and innovation officer.
The dual appointments come as the company reports an 8,000% rise in AI-driven fraud attacks recorded across its network over the past year. With AI agents increasingly taking autonomous, high-stakes decisions across sectors, and digital interactions supplanting the final touchpoints of human verification, Socure says demand for real-time identity infrastructure has reached a critical level.
Tam will be responsible for setting the strategic direction across Socure’s product management, design and platform roadmap, translating its technical and AI capabilities into coherent customer workflows. He will build on the company’s existing development of RiskOS®, its unified fraud, compliance and risk decisioning platform. Abreu, in the newly created chief AI and innovation officer role, will oversee the company’s core intellectual property, encompassing data science, data strategy, modelling, the identity graph and forward-looking AI innovation.
Socure develops what it describes as trust infrastructure for global identity and risk intelligence. Its platform is designed to serve as a single source of truth for enterprise identity and risk decisions, with its product roadmap shaped around what it refers to as the Fraud 4.0 landscape.
The executive changes follow a period of rapid growth in the first quarter of 2026. The company says the appointments are intended to ensure that, as its product organisation scales, the underlying intelligence layer continues to drive industry transformation.
Socure founder and CEO Johnny Ayers said, “Chung-Man knows how to recognize a technology shift, make the bold call, and build a product organization that executes. 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.”
Socure CPO Chung-Man Tam said, “What drew me to Socure is the rare combination of extraordinary data, world-class AI capability, and a team that is genuinely mission-driven. 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.”
Socure chief AI and innovation officer Pablo Abreu said, “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. 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.”
