Group Head of Data Strategy and Platforms @ FWD Insurance

About

Over the past 20 years, my focus has been simple: helping organizations navigate complex data and digital transformations to drive actual business value.Right now, as Group Head of Data Strategy and Platforms at FWD Insurance, I’m leading our Agentic data platform journey. What that really means is we are moving past standard analytics to build unified data ecosystems, activate practical AI, and put intelligent, automated tools directly into the hands of our teams.I believe that advanced AI and digital platforms shouldn't just be tech experiments—they should be scalable, ethical, and built to solve real-world problems for the insurance industry. For me, success is about empowering teams to innovate while ensuring we build sustainable growth that genuinely delivers for our customers.
