Hi, I'm Sanjeev.

For twenty years, leading insurers and banks have brought me in to solve their most complex delivery challenges — from core systems consolidation to enterprise Voice and agentic AI.

Certified Scrum Product Owner® and ICAgile-certified in Product Management. Currently at Suncorp, working across product, delivery and AI enablement.

I work where business, strategy, technology and delivery meet — turning ambiguity into clear outcomes, executable plans and working products.

01 — Profile

Product judgment, built on delivery.

Certified Scrum Product Owner® (Scrum Alliance) and ICAgile-certified in Product Management, with 20+ years across insurance, banking and technology. I've worked the full arc: core systems and policy-administration migrations first, then digital products, and now Voice and agentic AI. I'm most useful on the initiatives other people find hardest to start — complex integration, stalled transformation, data that needs a single source of truth, and AI that needs someone asking whether it solves the right problem.

04 — How I work

Four rules I keep coming back to.

Start with the problem, not the solution

Technology is downstream of understanding which outcome actually matters. The most expensive projects I've seen weren't slow — they were efficient at building the wrong thing.

Make the ambiguity visible

Assumptions, constraints, risks and open questions belong on the table early, where a team can argue about them — not surfacing halfway through delivery when they're expensive.

Put business and technology in the same room

The right answer rarely belongs entirely to either side, and most of the cost of getting it wrong is paid in translation between them.

Ship, then learn

Something useful in production beats a perfect deck. Until customers touch it, a plan is still a hypothesis.
