Underwriting Manager driving risk strategy, profitability, and bancassurance growth in LATAM.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Underwriting Manager and Insurance Operations Executive with 14+ years scaling profitability in LATAM. I currently lead Personal Lines underwriting, setting technical direction and informing corporate risk strategy through strong underwriting governance.
Previously, I held full P&L ownership of a mass-insurance portfolio exceeding USD 35M GWP, tripling it from ~USD 10.5M (+233%, 2019–2025) while reducing the loss ratio by 15%. I’m known for expert technical underwriting across P&C, Surety, and Engineering, partnering with teams to structure coverage and improve underwriting outcomes.
I also build distribution and product growth through B2B development and bancassurance: I launched 18 products and structured 5 key bancassurance agreements, consolidating the commercial ecosystem across 5 regions. I bring an operations-and-product mindset—optimizing process scaling and supporting core system implementation (UAT) to translate strategy into measurable execution.
