ABOUT CHRISTOPHER BROWN
Technology executive delivering enterprise-scale transformation across insurance, investments, and financial services. 25+ years of turning data, AI & analytics, scale computing, and platform modernization into successful operational and financial outcomes, generally in highly regulated and complex environments.I currently lead enterprise-wide AI strategy and execution for the entire Western and Southern enterprise and all subsidiary companies. I also lead technology for our investment companies and finance/actuarial/risk/tax organizations. During the journey, I\'ve integrated billion-dollar acquisitions, modernized many of our critical tech portfolios, and scaled intelligent automation across the company.Whether modernizing legacy mainstays, executing high-risk or large scale computing, or even launching one of the industry’s first transactional 401(k) web platforms, I’ve made a career of pushing slow-moving conventions past perceived limits while keeping core mission and the big picture in focus.Change is a constant, but the pace is picking up more quickly than ever. I\'m focused on driving what comes next - with the teams, platforms, and vision that can deliver it.
