Keynote: Engaging Engineers to Delight the Customer and Drive Business Results - Opal Perry, Divisional Chief Information Officer of Claims, Allstate Insurance    

Allstate, founded in 1931 and the second largest Property and Casualty Insurer in the US, is pursuing the goal of creating a 22nd Century Corporation and technology is at the forefront of this transformation. There are many pieces that must fall into place for an enterprise transformation to succeed: a strong vision, support from a leadership coalition, leveraging new technology and business models and most of all the engagement and drive of the individuals who power the corporation. Opal will discuss how she and the team took a global first approach to leading engineers and product teams on the transformation journey and enabled powerful growth for teams across three continents.
