Patra appoints Pratap Sarker as CEO
Patra Corporation has named Pratap Sarker as its new chief executive officer. Sarker, who brings over 30 years of leadership experience across technology and services, will also join the board of directors. He most recently served as CEO of Greenway Health and previously held senior roles at Conduent, Accenture, Infosys, and IBM.
Founder John Simpson, who led Patra since 2005, will transition to chairman of the board and continue working alongside Sarker on the company’s long-term strategy. The leadership change comes as brokers and wholesalers increasingly seek tech-enabled workflow solutions and AI-driven automation to drive margin expansion.
Backed by FTV Capital, Patra is positioned for continued growth, with a focus on next-generation insurance workflow automation.
“I am incredibly honored and excited to join the Patra team as CEO. Under John’s 20 years of leadership, Patra has transformed the insurance industry by consistently innovating, leveraging seasoned insurance professionals, and focusing on the customer experience. Patra’s AI and automation tools have already brought performance optimization and value to its clients across the industry. I am committed to building on that foundation as we enhance Patra’s best-in-class services with a platform built on Patra’s next-generation AI-driven workflow automation tools designed to deliver operational excellence across the insurance value chain. I look forward to working with the talented team at Patra to build upon John’s remarkable legacy.” – Sarker.
