Today, Converge appointed Howie Altman as Chief Technology Officer. The company builds cyber risk management and underwriting technology for the cyber insurance market. Altman will expand AI-driven automation and scale Converge’s proprietary platform to support profitability.
“We’ve made significant technology investments that already set us apart in cyber insurance and now his job is to turn our platform into the standard the industry measures itself against,” said Tom Kang, CEO of Converge.
Automation Roadmap For Underwriting And Claims
Altman’s mandate extends automation across the insurance lifecycle, from submission through claims servicing. Converge plans to enhance risk and portfolio modeling to sharpen cyber underwriting decisions. The company also aims to expand its technology footprint across the market through broader platform adoption.
“The opportunity here is to push that advantage further by automating what should be automated, giving underwriters even better tools and better data,” said Altman. Adding, “to be clear, that’s not a five-year vision, we’re achieving that right now.”
Platform, Security Monitoring, And Execution Focus
Altman will oversee AI-powered risk assessment, automated underwriting workflows, and advanced portfolio management tools. His team will strengthen security and vulnerability monitoring as cyber threats evolve. Altman brings decades of experience scaling platforms in insurance, financial services, and high-growth technology. Converge operates across the U.S. and is headquartered in New York.
