What I'm looking for
I am an experienced life insurance manager with over 11 years in underwriting, reinsurance, and client relations, focused on delivering operational improvements and strong partner relationships.
At Afri Life Insurance I headed Group Business & Alliances and led the Underwriting and Reinsurance department, collaborating with actuaries and global reinsurers to develop products and refine underwriting rates.
I have a proven track record of driving efficiency and growth — reducing processing time through workflow automation, increasing group life portfolio revenue, and resolving the majority of customer complaints rapidly.
I hold industry certifications (CII-UK) and have experience across claims, product development, complaints coordination, and client-facing roles, and I am motivated to apply this expertise to roles that value operational excellence and strategic partnership building.
