What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior IT/product leadership role in insurance technology where I can drive product strategy, manage IT portfolios and programs, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver digital transformation in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a 15-year IT professional specializing in application development and maintenance for life, health and general insurance. I combine business analysis, program and portfolio management, IT service management and software quality assurance to deliver robust, compliant systems.

I have led end-to-end implementations of Java-based policy, claims, sales/agent and client portal systems, reinsurance and financial accounting solutions, and delivered IFRS 17, CRM and contact-center projects. I have driven data migration and system conversions, implemented SAP insurance modules and managed recurring application maintenance and version updates. My work emphasizes process improvement, IT GRC and aligning IT portfolios with business strategy.

I lead cross-functional teams to translate business needs into scalable, secure insurance technology solutions that improve operations and customer experience.
