Advises financial services institutions and private capital investors on strategy, growth, and performance transformation topics, leading work on applying AI and advanced analytics to improve growth and productivity

Since joining the firm, Mehmet has advised a broad spectrum of financial services institutions, including insurers, banks, asset managers, fintechs, and private capital investors, on strategy, growth, and large-scale performance transformations.

He currently leads McKinsey’s work with property and casualty (P&C) insurers in the United Kingdom, supporting both personal and commercial lines players. He works closely with CEOs and executive boards on improving profitability, scaling sustainable growth, and strengthening core value-chain performance across distribution, pricing, underwriting, and operations. He also partners with executives on high-stakes situations such as performance turnarounds, productivity programs, and post-investment value-creation programs.

A core theme of his work is the application of AI and advanced analytics to drive measurable performance improvements. Mehmet’s work sits at the intersection of McKinsey’s Global Insurance Practice and QuantumBlack, McKinsey’s AI arm, where he helps organizations move from experimentation to scaled deployment. He supports clients in embedding AI into core business processes – enabling more effective decision-making, improving underwriting and risk selection, enhancing distribution effectiveness, and driving productivity across operations. Increasingly, his work focuses on agentic AI, embedding decisioning agents into pricing, underwriting, and operations to deliver sustained improvements in loss ratio, growth quality, and productivity.

Mehmet regularly publishes and speaks on the role of AI and technology in reshaping financial services and building a durable competitive advantage.
