About Santosh Behara

I am a Data Science and Analytics leader passionate about transforming the life insurance industry through data-driven strategies. With 7+ years of experience across Life Insurance, Retail, Telecom, and Healthcare, I specialize in building end-to-end analytics solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. At Life Insurance, I partner with business leaders to unlock growth by applying advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and machine learning to solve complex challenges. Previously, at CVS Health and Comcast, I developed data-driven marketing strategies, engineered scalable analytics pipelines, and delivered actionable insights that improved customer acquisition, retention, and overall business performance. My expertise spans marketing analytics, financial analysis, healthcare insights, and enterprise-scale data engineering. My technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, SAS, Tableau, Power BI, ML Ops, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and modern Data Engineering frameworks—enabling me to design robust pipelines, deploy machine learning models into production, and ensure insights are actionable at scale. I hold dual master’s degrees—an MBA in Marketing & Finance and a Master’s in Business Analytics from The University of Texas at Dallas—which give me a unique blend of business acumen and analytical rigor. I’m passionate about leveraging analytics, AI, and cloud technologies to shape the future of life insurance and am open to connecting with professionals interested in data science, marketing strategy, and digital transformation.
