@sandiipvankallu
Fraud Risk Leader driving analytics, fraud prevention, and underwriting improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Fraud Risk Leader with 15+ years of experience in fraud risk management and operational risk governance across insurance and banking. I focus on data-driven portfolio analytics, underwriting strategy, and revenue leakage identification that improves business outcomes.
I’ve consistently improved profitability by enhancing Return on Equity (ROE) and reducing loss ratios. I do this by identifying revenue leakages, neutralizing high-risk patterns, and institutionalizing robust corrective underwriting actions.
I design and embed advanced fraud detection architectures—including social network analysis and anomaly detection frameworks—so teams can intercept issues earlier and strengthen risk oversight. I also modernize compliance and audit readiness by migrating manual, high-dependency workflows into streamlined digital systems that raise efficiency, throughput, and SLA adherence.
In my recent roles, I’ve led contract management and product/portfolio analytics initiatives: localizing global contract governance, launching digital contract management rollouts, and building data-led pricing and underwriting strategies. I turn complex insights into executive-level intelligence through dashboards and review packs, aligning Underwriting, Claims, Legal, and Distribution around measurable risk and performance improvements.
