CLARA Analytics, an AI technology provider focused on insurance claims optimization, has appointed Eugene Wong as Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
With over 15 years in finance and operations, Wong will work with CLARA CEO Heather H. Wilson to guide the company’s financial and strategic direction amid rapid growth.
Wong’s role emphasizes CLARA’s appeal to top talent, as its claims intelligence platform gains industry recognition for enhancing claims processing through AI-driven guidance. Recently, CNBC and Statista named CLARA one of the World’s Top Insurtech Companies of 2024.
Wong previously served as CFO at Hometap, where he bolstered financial stability and drove growth, earning recognition as a 2023 HousingWire Finance Leader. His background includes roles as VP of Strategy and Finance at Forward Financing and Senior VP in the Sponsor Finance Group at Silicon Valley Bank. He also advised U.S. financial institutions on M&A and financing as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs.
Eugene’s expertise in high-growth environments makes him ideal for CLARA. He’s passionate about our mission and well-suited to lead us into the future with strong financial strategy.
