SKILLS
ABOUT PUNEET GAUR
I lead enterprise platform and digital transformation initiatives that take strategy through to scaled execution—modernizing core systems, reducing complexity, and enabling business outcomes at scale.With over 20 years in financial services technology across Health Insurance (US & Canada) and P&C, I specialize in the work most organizations struggle to sustain: transforming legacy platforms while maintaining delivery reliability, regulatory confidence, and business momentum.I partner closely with senior business and technology leaders to demystify technology, shape multi-year transformation roadmaps, and make the trade-offs required to turn intent into impact. My focus is on building enterprise platforms and operating models that scale—balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform health.Operating at the intersection of platforms, strategy, and execution, I align priorities, improve execution certainty, and build high-performing, globally distributed teams accountable for outcomes—not just activity.I’m known for calm, courageous leadership, persistence in complex environments, and developing leaders and teams capable of delivering large-scale change with consistency and discipline.Focus Areas:Enterprise Platforms · Digital Transformation · Technology Strategy · Strategy to Execution · Core Systems Modernization · Portfolio & Program Leadership · Operating Model & Change Management · Executive Partnership · Leadership Development
