Manish Mandelia

A business and technology leader, particularly within the employee benefits sector, Manish has been at the forefront of developing impactful solutions that enhance product sales and improve post-sale member experiences. This expertise led to the creation of a data-centric technology platform utilized by TPAs, MGAs, and carriers. As a business-savvy technopreneur, Manish understands the top and bottom-line challenges faced by his customers and partners. He designs solutions that allow clients to transition smoothly, ensuring they can integrate new technologies without abandoning their existing investments. This approach has fostered a diverse ecosystem of clients, including carriers underwriting risk, MGAs packaging and selling products, and TPAs serving members in a cost-effective manner. Before co-founding TrendzData, now Milliman Connect, Manish founded Harness Solutions, a technology consulting firm with a global client base across North America, Europe, and Asia. While the largest portion of his work focused on employee benefits, he also consulted for clients in financial services, pharmaceuticals, and property and casualty insurance. During his time with a major pharmaceutical client, Manish identified a need that led to the creation of a products division within Harness Solutions, addressing a critical inventory compliance challenge.
