Shane Cassidy is an executive vice president with Capgemini Insurance Business Unit. His responsibility is to continue to build long-term relationships with Capgemini’s customers and partners through defining and delivering strategy, core capability transformation, and operational excellence, leveraging domain specific skills and Capgemini’s global delivery capabilities.

Shane has supported many of the market’s most transformational programs and helped define long-term strategies that deliver growth and profitability for many of Capgemini’s customers. He has also defined and launched Capgemini’s insurance connect solution that delivers cloud-based core insurance services along with full insurance processing to the market. He is passionate about driving the evolution to digital agility and a revised expectation of product manufacturing and pricing intelligence to the insurance ecosystem.

He notes that his family has always felt a strong connection to its Irish

heritage. “It has always been a source of pride, and one I personally associate with hard work, honesty and the importance of meeting your commitments both personally and professionally.” All of these beliefs are underlined by the importance of family and community to success – “without those, the rest is less important, and nothing may be more Irish in my mind than family.” ♦
