Summary
Mike Conyard is a seasoned enterprise and solution architect with two decades of experience designing application, infrastructure and security architectures and delivering large-scale technology programmes across insurance and financial services. As Director of Enterprise Architecture (Insurance) at KPMG UK, he blends hands-on technical fluency—from cloud and core system migrations to data and cyber architecture—with client-facing skills in RFI/RFPs, bid management and stakeholder negotiation. He has repeatedly rebuilt teams and processes, scaling delivery-focused engineering groups across territories and vendors while shaping operating models and architectural governance. Mike’s background spans General Insurance, Reinsurance, Life & Pensions and London Markets, and he has a track record of translating regulatory and business challenges into pragmatic roadmaps and automated solutions. Unusually for an architect at this level, he also engages in developer-centric activities—authoring clear API docs and exploring Web3—bringing an appreciation for both low-level implementation detail and strategic vision.
