Led by people who've
done this work.
Curovia was founded by operators with deep expertise and a shared conviction: that cyber claims deserve a better answer than the industry has been offering.
Theresa Le
Co-Founder & President
Theresa Le has spent her career on the front line of cyber claims and founded Curovia because she kept seeing the same gap: cyber insurers without a claims partner built for cyber.
Before founding Curovia, Theresa was Chief Claims Officer at Cowbell Cyber, where she built and led the company's global cyber claims organization from the ground up, and where her team handled thousands of cyber incidents. She also led cyber claims at Swiss Re and AXA XL, giving her a rare vantage point across reinsurance, legacy carrier, and MGA claims operations.
Theresa's perspective is further shaped by over a decade as an insurance coverage attorney at leading law firms including Clyde & Co, Duane Morris, and Atheria, where she worked directly with dozens of cyber claims teams around the world, giving her a coverage-side fluency few claims leaders have. She also served as Global Head of Cyber Insurance at Booz Allen, rounding-out her experience with a deep understanding of the incident response ecosystem.
This combination of cyber claims leadership, insurance coverage law, and incident response makes Theresa a sought-after voice, resource, and mentor in the industry. Her speaking engagements include NetDiligence, ITC, Black Hat, RSAC, Cyber Risk & Insurance USA, the Insurance Information Institute, the California Surplus Lines Association, Claims Academy, and CLM. She also serves on the Zywave Advisory Board and is a Co-Chair of Net Diligence Miami 2027. And, she was recently nominated for Zywave's Incident Response Person of the Year (2026) and was voted Mentor of the Year at the Intelligent Insurer Awards (2026).

Chris Van Buren
Co-Founder & CEO
Chris's career has moved deliberately between insurance and technology: eight years in insurance, nine years in enterprise technology, and seventeen years building an insurance services business, putting him squarely at the intersection of what Curovia is building. He began his career in his family's insurance business, eventually acquired by CBIZ, then spent nearly a decade in technology, including a stint as the founder's right hand at Broadpeak, helping lead the company to its acquisition by DataLabs (later ClinPhone).
Most recently, he co-founded Embrook Benefits Consulting, building it from inception into a profitable advisory practice (leading business development, technology strategy, and partnerships) before its acquisition by KMRD Partners (later Foundation Risk Partners). The common thread across all Chris's successful ventures: pairing sound business fundamentals with early, deliberate adoption of technology and process. At Curovia, Chris leads strategy, capital formation, and operational build-out, bringing that same builder's instinct to a cyber claims organization designed to scale.

Head of Claims
Curovia is excited to add a claims leader shortly, whose career has focused on cyber claims. With years spent building and running cyber claims functions at leading cyber insurers and MGAs, this addition combines exceptional leadership and care with technical precision in a way that's rare in this industry. Widely respected among carriers, brokers, and peers alike, she is a steady, trusted cyber claims resource whose expertise and judgment have been tested and proven when it matters most.
