Managing international teams and challenging the status quo: Amit’s experience on the SPARK program

Amit joined Admiral in August 2016 on the SPARK program, as an International Pricing Manager after his MBA at LBS.

Background

  • Education: BA Economics from Cornell University, MBA from London Business School
  • Languages: English, Hindi
  • Home country: USA
  • Admiral anniversary: August 2016

Description of role

I manage a Cardiff based data science internal consulting team and recently the local data science team in the USA as well. In total, this amounts to nine people spread over two continents. We work on building models that use new data sources such as vehicle safety characteristics and map information.

Countries worked in with Admiral

The USA, Italy, France, Spain (and the UK of course).

Most memorable project and why

My most memorable project is the first one where I managed someone else. The transition from being an individual contributor to a manager is one of the most significant learning moments I have had in my career. The MBA prepared me for this to some extent, but I think the only real way to understand the challenges and solutions is through experience.

Best advice you’ve been given and advice you would give a new IPM

Challenge the status quo. Admiral is very welcoming of new ideas. It may feel intimidating in the beginning to question people who have decades of experience in the industry, but it is the key to adding value.
