NTT Data UK has appointed Dean Gulzar as its new head of insurance.

A former officer in the Royal Navy, Mr Gulzar has worked in the financial services and insurance industry for over 20 years, much of it in consulting firms Deloitte and PwC. At PwC, he was a partner in the US advisory business and led part of its insurance business out of Chicago. At Deloitte, he worked with clients in insurance and prior to that, he led the Genpact’s EMEA & APAC insurance business.

Mr Gulzar said: “The first thing that struck me about NTT DATA was that its company values very much align to my own. It focuses on building the right culture to help its people thrive, champions diversity and inclusion, and believes in business based on people rather than processes.

“This year has been challenging for the insurance sector. It has reminded us of fast-changing nature of risk, and the need to be nimble and act quickly. The good news is that technology has a huge part to play in future success in this industry. It enables our insurance clients to be agile in times of change, and it allows us to innovate so our clients stay ahead of the competition. I’m excited to help NTT Data further build its offering, and to continue to partner with our clients to ensure they achieve their business goals.”
