About Chris Blatchly

Helping Clients Solve Age-Old Business Problems in New Ways Many of the same challenges have always existed in the insurance space, and digital is helping leading companies solve them in new ways. I lead a team helping clients explore technologies like IoT, blockchain, AI and AR to advance their digital transformation efforts. As a result, they’re handling and processing claims faster, pricing with more precision, improving efficiency, combating fraud, and uncovering new business models and revenue opportunities. Driving the Digital Vision for Insurance As CDO, I’m helping to create the digital vision and agenda for the insurance vertical at Cognizant. Our industry is at an inflection point driven by technology’s exponential growth. My role is to help Cognizant and our clients harness that power and the information it creates to build their capabilities and transform their business. Shaping Future Consulting Leaders for the Insurance Industry I’m a firm believer that strong teams lead to innovation and better solutions for companies and their clients. I currently lead a team of more than 170 consultants, leveraging my three decades of international insurance, technology, and business experience to help them take the next step in their consulting careers. Together, we’re creating a practice positioned to make the insurance vertical a leader in creating digital transformation best practices.
