In this episode, the host John Siracusa had a remote chat with Tom Kang, Co-founder & CEO of Converge. Converge is an insurtech cyber MGA that brings a new type of cyber insurance solutions, focusing on the constantly changing threat landscape while providing an agile underwriting and claims processes. One of the reasons why he created Converge in the first place was because he encountered challenges in implementing new insurance offerings while working within the constraints of a large corporate structure. The company aims to combine insurance expertise with technology and data analytics to provide comprehensive cyber insurance solutions. A childhood experience taught Tom the importance of not panicking in difficult situations. He also discusses how he applies this lesson to his decision-making process as a CEO. Tom highlights the calmness and focus he maintains when faced with potential 'green bus moments' (from his childhood story) and emphasizes the importance of aligning decisions with core values.
