Data Platform Sales - Strategic Insurance Clients @IBM

Hamburg, DE

As part of IBM’s Data & AI sales team, I help insurance companies modernize their data landscape and prepare for AI at scale, designing modern data platforms that support both today’s analytics needs and tomorrow’s agentic AI systems – AI that can reason, plan, and take autonomous actions on behalf of users. Core Focus Areas • Data Platforms & Cloud Databases: Advising on scalable, secure platforms for structured and unstructured data across multi-cloud and hybrid environments • Data Integration & Data Quality: Ensuring clean, connected data flows that are ready for both operational and AI-driven use cases • Data as a Product: Promoting domain ownership and treating data as a strategic, consumable asset across business units • Data Fabric & Data Mesh: Designing decentralized, self-service architectures to enable agility and domain-driven innovation • Data Security & Compliance: Addressing data privacy, classification, lineage, and regulatory requirements as foundational elements of any AI strategy • AI Readiness & Agentic AI: Preparing organizations to deploy next-generation AI systems that not only analyze and predict but also act, reason, and collaborate autonomously – powered by robust, trustworthy data • AI Governance & Responsibility: Supporting frameworks that ensure ethical, explainable, and auditable AI aligned with business and societal values🧠 Why It MattersAI is only as powerful as the data behind it. I help clients build the data foundation that makes AI trustworthy, explainable, and actionable — whether through traditional analytics or cutting-edge agentic AI use cases. It’s about accelerating outcomes, not just models.
