Ravi Shankar

Ravi is widely regarded as a mature, trusted voice in insurance technology, with more than 20 years of experience across Property & Casualty, General Insurance and, in particular, the London Market. Over the last decade, he has been deeply embedded in the Lloyd’s and London Market ecosystem, partnering with leading syndicates, brokers, MGAs and managing agents to deliver complex transformation programmes. His work has consistently focused on modernising legacy estates, improving data and reporting capabilities, and aligning business and IT around clear, outcome-driven roadmaps.

What sets Ravi apart is his ability to operate comfortably at both strategic and delivery levels. He understands the realities of underwriting, claims, and operations, while also bringing a strong command of platforms, integrations, decommissioning strategies and the broader vendor landscape. Senior stakeholders value his calm, structured approach, his willingness to listen before advising, and his knack for translating technical complexity into clear, actionable language for boards and business leaders. Within programme teams, he is seen as a natural bridge between the business and multiple IT vendors, able to resolve ambiguity and keep delivery focused on value.

Ravi’s professional philosophy is grounded in a simple cycle: learn, execute, deliver, share, then learn again. He is not only a practitioner, but also an active contributor to the wider conversation about change in the London Market. For more than five years he has hosted the YouTube channel “Let’s Talk Business,” where he publishes a weekly bulletin on developments, trends and challenges in the London insurance market, reinforcing his position as a genuine thought leader.

Across his career, Ravi has worked with a wide spectrum of core insurance and London Market platforms, including Access AIMS Ver 10g, eBaoTech GIS, CSC Polisy/M, HCL InsurWrite and InsurFace, Sapiens IDIT, NIIT Subscribe and Navigator Underwriting, and DXC’s Xuber suite (Xuber Enterprise, XFI, XL Pro, Global XB, BinderCloud and Xuber Xposure). This breadth of experience underpins his reputation as a seasoned Insurance IT leader and a go-to advisor for organisations navigating digital transformation in the London Market.
