At VIPR, delivering value to our customers in the delegated underwriting space is a top priority. Garry White, Portfolio Manager, brings a wealth of experience that drives this mission forward.
Garry's journey began with a degree in Business Information Systems from University College Cork in Ireland. This multidisciplinary program, which combines computer programming, business analysis, project management, and business development, laid a solid foundation for his career. His first major role was with AIG, where he spent eight years honing his skills in business analysis and project management. His transition from managing internal projects at AIG to handling external customer projects at Verisk equipped him with a unique perspective on customer-centric project delivery.
Since joining VIPR, Garry has been instrumental in aligning project management practices with our broader business goals. He emphasises the importance of understanding customer requirements early in the process, which allows the VIPR delivery team to create tailored project plans that address specific needs. This approach not only ensures successful project delivery but also builds strong, trusting relationships with customers.
One of Garry's notable achievements at VIPR includes modernising the bordereau management process for a new customer who had previously managed all data offline.
By transitioning their data into VIPR’s product suite, Garry's team not only streamlined their operations but also provided robust reporting capabilities through VIPR's Insights product. This transformation enables the customers to make data-driven decisions and stay ahead in a competitive market.
Garry's expertise extends beyond technical implementation. He excels in fostering a collaborative environment within the VIPR team. His ability to communicate effectively with customers and team members alike ensures that projects are delivered on time, to an agreed scope, within budget and to VIPR’s high quality standards. This dedication to excellence is a testament to his commitment to both VIPR's success and the success of our customers.
Looking ahead, Garry is excited about the emerging trends in insurance technology, overall. He believes that advancements in AI and machine learning will continue to enhance the industry, providing even greater value to end-users.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Garry values work-life balance. He enjoys traveling, attending concerts, and staying active through running. This balanced approach to life allows him to bring fresh perspectives and renewed energy to his work at VIPR.
