Raman is a senior principal in Oliver Wyman’s Actuarial Life practice, based in Seattle.
He advises insurance and reinsurance executives on actuarial modernization, transformation strategy, operating model design, and technology-enabled change.
Raman helps actuarial organizations build the foundations for automation, analytics, and AI-enabled ways of working, improving efficiency, scalability, and business insight. He has led transformation efforts across modeling platform strategy, asset liability management (ALM), reinsurance transformation, operating model design, and governance.
Raman bridges the two sides of most modernization programs. He spent nearly five years inside a life insurer — working across pricing, valuation, reporting, and ALM — and a decade designing the processes, data, and technology behind them. He brings a practitioner's view of the value chain and the judgment to build modernization programs that are strategically relevant, operationally practical, and technically executable.
I've been on the receiving end of the processes I'm now asked to redesign. That tends to keep the ambition honest
Raman is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries. He previously served as a council member of SOA's Technology Section and has spoken at industry events on actuarial transformation, automation, data, and technology.
Raman lives just outside Seattle with his wife and two children. He enjoys family hikes in the Cascades in the summer months, and he has taken up indoor rock climbing for the wetter months, having been talked into it by his five-year-old.
