ID verification platform Socure hires three new executives
Arun Kumar, Katia Mar and Steve Rooney have been named as the company’s new chief technology officer (CTO), senior vice president (SVP) of marketing and SVP of global sales, respectively.
Socure says the appointments signal the “continued acceleration” of its trajectory, with the company claiming its technology eliminated 204,536 synthetic identities from the US economy over 2023 and prevented more than $3 billion in fraud losses.
As CTO, Kumar will be tasked with leading the platform’s technological advancements. Prior to joining Socure, he served in the same position for Luma Financial Technologies for two years following a three-year tenure at Miami-based investment firm Citadel.
A veteran of the cybersecurity, fraud protection and identity verification space, Socure has appointed Mar as its SVP of marketing to lead its product marketing, sales and brand awareness endeavours.
Joining from UK-based digital identity company Onfido, where she most recently served as VP of product marketing and sales enablement, Mar will be particularly involved in her new company’s six-level market education programme, Socure University.
Rooney joins from anti-money laundering platform NICE Actimize and will work to optimise Socure’s go-to-market strategy and commercial footprint, leveraging more than two decades of experience in scaling regulatory and fintech sales organisations.
For Johnny Ayers, founder and CEO of Socure, each appointment brings “a wealth of expertise and a builder’s mindset” to the company.
