Agile Delivery Manager and SAFe RTE driving GenAI-enabled insurance transformations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Agile Delivery Manager and SAFe-certified Release Train Engineer who leads insurance and BFSI transformation programmes across the UK, US, and India. I combine cross-functional leadership with strong program governance and predictive planning for distributed teams of 80+ spanning business, underwriting, claims, and engineering.
I turn complex delivery challenges into measurable outcomes through structured risk mitigation, stakeholder alignment, and operational scalability. Highlights include improving delivery predictability by 30%+ with a proactive risk framework, sustaining 95%+ stakeholder satisfaction through executive reporting and transparent risk visibility, and achieving 100% RAID traceability with 90%+ of high-impact risks neutralised before escalation.
Across Life and Health and General Insurance, I’ve delivered measurable efficiency gains (including a 21% efficiency gain on claims operations) and built portfolio-level governance for delivery control. Currently, I’m driving GenAI-enabled policy, claims, and customer servicing solutions—while leading as RTE and managing a 20-member GenAI delivery squad through Service Readiness and Go-Live.
