Steamboat Group, the holding company for several leading insurance brands, is pleased to announce that award-winning technology leader Matthew W. Maddox has joined the team as Chief Technology and Product Officer.
Maddox will oversee infrastructure, systems, and security, along with internal and external support services. He is charged with collaborating closely with leadership across multiple companies, internal departments, external vendors, and customers to execute strategic initiatives.
Maddox has managed teams at various executive levels over the past two decades, including as Chief Information Officer and VP of Technology and Product. He has served on many industry advisory boards and held leadership and mentorship roles across the state of Georgia, including serving as an advisory board member for the Insurance Technology Association.
Maddox’s goal for his new role at Steamboat Group is to ensure technology consistently delivers meaningful value by elevating daily operational activities into strategic refinement, competitive positioning, and innovative product development.
“We are thrilled to have Matthew join the Steamboat Group family in such an integral leadership role,” said CEO Angel Cruz. “His vast experience and expertise will help bring the already exceptional IrisX tracking system and RiskSecure platforms to new levels for our clients.”
IrisX is a proprietary cloud-based tracking system that provides secure, streamlined tracking of insurance within a portfolio and applies complex business rules to report or act upon this information in a compliant manner. Lending institutions, mortgage servicers, and REO and property investors gain critical insurance tracking, robust search and reporting, and consumer-compliant communications through the system.
The RiskSecure policy issuance platform allows agents and brokers to login and directly manage their own important information on their own, including payments and document review. Maddox will provide oversight as our team works to optimize the RiskSecure platform for even greater efficiency.
