In this episode of the QA Financial podcast, we sit down with Srini Chelian, VP & Head of Technology, Personal Lines at Definity, to unpack how one of Canada’s leading insurers is embedding AI across the software development lifecycle.
With a background spanning IT strategy, agile transformation and large-scale delivery, Chelian shares how Definity is translating business needs into faster, more efficient and higher-quality technology outcomes.
Chelian will be speaking at the QA Financial Forum Toronto 2026, where he is set to deliver a keynote titled “Transforming Delivery and Service: How Definity Is Using AI to Build Better, Faster and Cheaper” on Thursday, April 23 from 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM (EDT) in Track 1.
