For Quanata · VP of AI Applications / VP Product

An AI-native product executive to scale Quanata's AI-native insurance platform for State Farm and HiRoad.

I'm Stephen Mordue, an AI-native product and technology leader in San Francisco with 15+ years across medical devices, B2B / B2C apps, and consumer electronics. I build AI applications that ship and move margins, and I'd like to do that as your VP of AI Applications / VP Product.

What I read about Quanata

Quanata engineers risk prediction and prevention, risk-focused acquisition, and a full-stack, increasingly AI-native digital insurance platform for State Farm and HiRoad, and is hiring a leader to define portfolio vision, strategy, and operating model. [1]

Three AI applications I'd start with

01

Telematics-to-coaching agent

Turn driving-behavior signals into short, personalized coaching moments in-app, measured by risk-score movement over 90 days, the same sensor-to-behavior loop I ran on wearables at Kenzen and Instabeat.

02

Underwriting and claims copilots with audit trails

LLM copilots for internal teams that cite their sources and log every decision, built to the compliance bar of a regulated carrier from day one.

Grounded in source [1]
03

AI-assisted acquisition experiments

Model-driven targeting and creative tests for risk-focused acquisition, with a weekly experiment cadence and a clear customer avatar per segment.

Proof from my work

Also: early team at AliveCor (FDA 510(k) files, HIPAA), Stryker Endoscopy, Abbott Diabetes Care, and Micronics; VP of Product at Kenzen; 6 patents; B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington. I work AI-native every day in Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Grok.

30 / 60 / 90

30 days

Listen and map

Meet the leaders who own the outcomes, inventory live AI efforts and data, and agree on 3 measurable target metrics. Ship one working prototype against a real workflow.

60 days

Prove value

Take the top use case to a production pilot with evals, guardrails, and a baseline. Publish a prioritized AI roadmap with build, buy, or partner calls for each capability.

90 days

Scale the system

Turn the pilot into a paved road other teams can reuse, report results in dollars and hours, and line up the next two bets with owners and dates.

Let's talk

If this is useful for the VP, Product search or a related AI leadership need, I'd welcome 20 minutes.
