Khurram Tehseen is the founder and principal of Operating Alpha, a data and AI consultancy for private capital and insurance. He has built the data and AI function from zero five times inside regulated firms, including launching the first Global Advanced Analytics group at Manulife, more than 160 people across Asia, Canada and the US, and running data science for nine years at a specialty finance investor, where document automation and a rebuilt data foundation cut underwriting cycle time by 33% at 99.9% decision accuracy and reduced data preparation time by 84%. He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) and of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (FCIA), and holds a Master of Management Analytics. He publishes Operating Notes and the annual Private Credit AI Readiness Benchmark. His view: the tool is never the bottleneck, the data foundation under it is.
