Xceedance Strengthens Catastrophe Modeling and Exposure Management Portfolio With Appointment of Vikas Wadhera as Senior Vice President

FORT LAUDERDALE, US – June 17, 2026 — Xceedance, a global provider of technology-driven business solutions for the insurance industry, today announced the appointment of Vikas Wadhera as Senior Vice President to further strengthen its catastrophe modeling and exposure management services portfolio.

This appointment reinforces Xceedance’s continued investment in scaling its catastrophe analytics capabilities for insurers, reinsurers, and MGAs navigating increasingly complex risk environments.

Xceedance has built a strong position in catastrophe modeling services, with a significant presence in the UK Lloyd’s market and the U.S., supported by one of the largest teams of catastrophe modelers and analysts in the industry. The company processes over 120K insureds daily, providing end-to-end support, and has delivered a 7X reduction in unforeseen variances in catastrophe pricing for accounts through its analytics-led approach.

Vikas brings over 27 years of experience in catastrophe modeling, actuarial analytics, and large-scale risk analytics operations. He has extensive experience building and scaling global capability centers, managing client relationships, and driving innovation-led growth. Before joining Xceedance, he served as Senior Vice President and Head of Knowledge Services at Guy Carpenter, where he led global analytics and advisory teams supporting the firm’s broking operations. Prior to that, he held leadership roles at RMS (now Moody’s), helping institutionalize the adoption of catastrophe modeling and advanced analytics in strategic decision-making.

“Vikas brings deep domain expertise and a proven track record in scaling catastrophe modeling and analytics operations globally,” said Subramanian Sankaran, President & Global Chief Operating Officer at Xceedance. “His leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality, modelling data, improve decision-making for our clients, and expand the impact of our catastrophe and exposure management services. He will focus on transforming legacy processes into scalable, modern workflows, enhancing user experience, and deploying AI-led solutions for intelligent data ingestion and analysis.”

“I am excited to join Xceedance at a time when insurers are rethinking how they manage catastrophe risk and exposure data, while accelerating digital transformation and leveraging AI to enhance underwriting, improve risk assessment, and enable faster, data-driven decision-making that ultimately delivers better outcomes for businesses,” Vikas Wadhera added. “Xceedance’s combination of deep insurance expertise, advanced analytics, and scalable technology platforms creates a strong foundation to deliver more accurate, decision-relevant insights. I look forward to working with our teams and clients to enhance risk transparency, strengthen underwriting outcomes, and drive measurable impact across global portfolios.”

Vikas has also played an active role in advancing the adoption of catastrophe modeling through industry collaborations and client training initiatives. He has contributed to global resilience efforts and worked with multilateral funding agencies, including participation in the Sendai Framework and the Geneva Association’s climate risk working group.

At the core of Xceedance’s catastrophe modeling capability is the proprietary Risk Data Platform (RDP), which integrates with leading catastrophe modeling platforms. Its API-first architecture enables seamless integration with underwriting systems while maintaining governance across the data pipeline. Across various deployments, the platform has delivered a 60–70% reduction in handling time, approximately 50% cost savings, and over thousands of hours saved annually.
