Akhil Gupta — Product Manager

Data Science leader with over a decade of experience building scalable machine learning and forecasting systems in healthcare and insurance analytics. My work sits at the intersection of statistical rigor, production engineering, and business impact. I focus on designing forecasting and predictive modeling frameworks that are repeatable, explainable, and enterprise-ready - particularly in complex and regulated environments. Over the years, I’ve led cross-functional data science initiatives spanning healthcare cost forecasting, utilization modeling, and predictive risk analytics. My technical foundation includes time-series modeling, gradient boosting, feature engineering, model validation (regression and classification), and explainable AI frameworks. I operate as a hands-on leader - reviewing model architectures, challenging assumptions, strengthening validation frameworks, and building governance standards - while working closely with business and actuarial stakeholders to ensure analytics translates into structured decision-making. I’m passionate about: • Building high-performance data science teams • Establishing modeling standards and governance • Scaling ML platforms responsibly • Solving complex problems where ambiguity is high and impact is meaningful Outside of work, I remain a lifelong learner - curious about systems, strategy, and the evolving role of data science in shaping decisions. Always open to thoughtful conversations around data, leadership, and technology.
