Transforming Insurance Through Conscious Data Strategy and Orchestrated, Human-Centered AI
I help Property & Casualty insurers transform how they use data, analytics, and AI to compete, adapt, and lead.
Drawing on three decades of experience across insurance, reinsurance, and technology, I focus on building conscious data strategies that enable orchestrated, explainable, and human-in-the-loop intelligence—systems that enhance human judgment rather than replace it.
​
Bridging Executive Vision and Analytical Execution
My work centers on translating C-suite strategy into analytical action.
I design governed data ecosystems, feature pipelines, and decision frameworks that create trust, transparency, and agility. Through next-generation orchestration, I help organizations integrate human expertise, machine foresight, and continuous learning into enterprise operations—building organizations that evolve with every decision.
​
Experience and Industry Impact
As Global Chief Analytics Officer at leading insurers, including Chubb and Gen Re, I led the creation of enterprise-wide data capabilities and deployed predictive analytics across underwriting, claims, and portfolio management.
Earlier, I held senior analytics and operations-research roles at Fortune 500 insurers and technology firms, pioneering early AI-driven approaches to pricing, risk selection, and loss mitigation.
Today, I advise boards and executive teams on modernizing analytics foundations while safely scaling generative and agentic AI across complex business environments.
​
Frameworks that Shape the Future
My signature frameworks—the P&C AI Operating Spine, Signal Supply Chain, and Human-in-the-Loop Maturity Model—provide executives with clear pathways to implementing safe, accountable, enterprise-ready AI.
These models help insurers orchestrate governed data, reusable data products, AI agents, and human oversight into a transparent, continuously learning ecosystem.
​
Thought Leadership and Forthcoming Book
I publish regularly across leading insurance platforms and am completing a forthcoming book on how orchestrated, explainable, and agentic AI will reshape the future of P&C insurance.
Each framework, case study, and insight reflects my central belief that technology should deepen human judgment—not replace it.
​
Forthcoming Book: The AI-Ready P&C Enterprise
Dr. Belhe’s forthcoming book explores how insurers can build orchestrated, explainable, human-in-the-loop AI ecosystems that transform underwriting, claims, and enterprise decision-making.
Grounded in real-world cases and signature frameworks—including the P&C AI Operating Spine, Signal Supply Chain, and Human-in-the-Loop Maturity Model—the book serves as a blueprint for executives navigating the next era of P&C transformation.
​
Philosophy and Purpose
Technology should deepen human insight, not replace it.
Belhe Analytics Advisory exists to help insurers achieve that balance—accelerating transformation through conscious data strategy, orchestrated intelligence, and explainable, human-centered AI.
