CHIDERA OKAFOR
@chideraokafor2
Finance graduate focused on life underwriting, risk assessment, and data-driven reporting to improve decisions.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance graduate building my career in life underwriting, risk assessment, and data-driven reporting. Through my experience at AIICO Insurance Plc, I assessed life insurance applications against underwriting standards and internal risk guidelines to improve portfolio exposure.
I’m known for structured case review, documentation accuracy, and fast turnaround. I delivered over 95% of underwriting decisions within required timelines and supported compliance through detailed case reports, while also helping reduce avoidable portfolio exposure by 15%.
I also enjoy turning messy workflows into clear, usable outputs with Excel-based tools. I developed Excel reporting tools that reduced manual processing time by ~30%, improved access to underwriting data, and strengthened submission quality through coaching field agents on documentation standards—skills I also bring to my entrepreneurial work coordinating services through pricing, vendor management, and operational oversight.
