@godwillvortia
I lead insurance strategy and digital transformation to drive growth and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic insurance and financial services leader with over 17 years' experience in management consulting and industry roles. I specialize in corporate strategy, digital transformation, and delivery management.
At KPMG I serve as Director, Advisory, leading enterprise-wide insurance operations, strategy and technology engagements, and acting as Product Owner for globally distributed teams to build digital and core insurance products. I have led teams of 30+ professionals, driven go-to-market strategies, and presented statements of work to executive clients.
Earlier roles at Franklin Templeton, New York Life, BCG, and McKinsey sharpened my skills in competitive research, process improvement, project and program management, and client-facing advisory work. I consistently translate complex analysis into actionable plans that improve sales, operational efficiency, and customer experience.
I hold an MBA in Finance and Computer Information Systems and passed CFA Level I; I mentor junior colleagues and lead business development and thought leadership initiatives. I am motivated by opportunities to design and scale digital insurance solutions that deliver measurable business impact.
