Über Rakesh
I help insurers, reinsurers and PE-backed firms deliver strategy, operational due diligence, post-merger integration (PMI), value creation and transformation initiatives.
With 15+ years of international industry and consulting experience across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, I have led complex programs spanning operating model design, business transformation, underwriting modernization, technology assessment, application rationalization, business architecture and change management.
My experience combines senior roles within leading insurers and reinsurers with management consulting advisory work, enabling me to bridge strategy and execution. I have supported acquisitions, carve-outs, integration programs, growth strategies, market expansion initiatives, technology transformation and underwriting platform modernization.
Typical engagements include:
• Operational Due Diligence (ODD)
• Post-Merger Integration (PMI) and Carve-Outs
• Value Creation and Transformation Roadmaps
• Operating Model Design and Target Operating Models
• Technology Assessment and Application Rationalization
• Insurance and Reinsurance Transformation
• Underwriting and Pricing Modernization
• Growth Strategy and Market Expansion
I work with executive teams, investors and business leaders to translate strategic objectives into practical, measurable outcomes.
