About me
My name is Pankaj Pant
An accomplished technology leader with over 16 years of experience, I specialize in data modernization, cloud transformation, data engineering, and advanced analytics, with a strong focus on the insurance and financial services industries. I hold an M.S. in Data Science from Northwestern University and have led global teams to deliver enterprise-wide modernization, regulatory reporting, and migration programs.
My expertise encompasses data strategy, governance, enterprise architecture, and the application of Generative AI, which reduces manual effort, enhances compliance, and delivers measurable business value. I have architected automated pipelines, streamlined reporting frameworks, and led on-prem to cloud migrations, consistently enabling organizations to become more efficient and future-ready.
Beyond client work, I am passionate about giving back to society. I actively contribute through NAIFA Dallas, DAMA Houston, and IEEE, where I mentor professionals, support students in research and publishing, and share knowledge with the broader community.
Outside of work, I love traveling, networking, and picking up new ways to stay active—whether it’s swimming, table tennis, pool, or my latest adventure: pickleball. I also enjoy exploring how simple applications of AI can make everyday life more productive, and I’m always excited to share practical tips with anyone curious about tech.
