What I'm looking for

I seek a commercial role in insurance focusing on partner distribution, SME/mid-corporate portfolios, data-driven growth, and measurable revenue impact.

I am an MBA-qualified insurance professional with 5+ years' experience managing commercial insurance portfolios and strategic partnerships across SME and mid-corporate segments. I have a strong record in business development, broker and bank tie-ups, and delivering multi-million pound annual sales.

My strengths include designing and executing digital and offline marketing strategies, optimising sales operations and CRM processes, and leading cross-functional collaboration with underwriting, claims and service teams to improve efficiency and profitability.

I combine technical familiarity with policy administration, data-driven decision making and stakeholder management to drive retention and revenue growth, and I seek roles where I can scale distribution, enhance product adoption, and deliver measurable commercial impact.
