Amit Mistry
Background

I'm an IT and business development professional with a track record across multi-domain insurance — healthcare and personal lines P&C. My career has been shaped by a consistent drive to bridge rigorous technical work with tangible business outcomes.

At The Cigna Group, I spent four years leading cloud security assessments for 60+ HIPAA-regulated applications, integrating automated security gates into CI/CD pipelines, and translating complex risk findings into frameworks that scaled across a global AppSec team.

Today I lead growth strategy and revenue operations for an Allstate agency — applying the same structured, analytical mindset to drive sales performance and leverage AI in everyday operations. Growth-minded and sales-oriented, I believe technology and business strategy are strongest when built together.
