Socure, a provider of identity verification and risk intelligence infrastructure, has appointed Chung-Man Tam as its chief product officer (CPO) and Pablo Abreu as its first chief AI and innovation officer, as the company looks to strengthen its executive bench at a time of rapidly escalating AI-driven fraud.
The dual appointments come as Socure reports an 8,000% surge in AI-powered fraud attacks on its network over the past 12 months. With AI agents increasingly taking autonomous, high-stakes decisions across industries and digital interactions supplanting the final instances of human verification, the company says the need for reliable, real-time identity infrastructure has grown more pressing than ever.
Tam will be responsible for setting the strategic direction across Socure’s product management, design, and platform roadmap, translating the company’s technical and AI capabilities into coherent customer workflows. His remit includes building on Socure’s development of RiskOS® — its unified fraud, compliance, and risk decisioning platform — positioning it as the definitive single source of truth for enterprise identity and risk decisions. Abreu, who takes on a newly created role, will oversee Socure’s core intellectual property, encompassing data science, data strategy, modelling, the identity graph, and forward-looking AI innovation — all areas the company considers central to its long-term competitive position.
Socure describes itself as a trust infrastructure provider for global identity and risk intelligence, offering enterprises a unified platform for fraud prevention, compliance, and risk decisioning. The company has positioned itself as an AI-native operator in the identity space, with a platform designed to serve as a single decision-making layer across the enterprise.
The appointments follow strong momentum in the first quarter of 2026 and are intended to ensure that as Socure scales its product organisation, the underlying intelligence layer continues to advance at pace. Under the new leadership structure, Tam will oversee the product side while Abreu focuses exclusively on the company’s AI and innovation agenda.
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.”
