Enthusiastic account executive with a proven track record in insurance.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated and enthusiastic account executive with extensive experience in the insurance industry. My career began as a Personal Lines Handler at NFU, where I developed a strong foundation in managing various classes of personal insurance. Over the years, I have honed my skills in client management, business development, and team collaboration.
At Marsh Commercial, I successfully managed an existing book of business while generating new leads, exceeding my new business target by over 50% in 2023. My proactive approach and ability to build strong relationships have allowed me to introduce significant clients, such as the National Trust, contributing to substantial projected income. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to achieving targets while maintaining excellent client service.
