What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, preferably in a dynamic environment that values innovation and teamwork.

I am a dedicated Product Manager with over 10 years of experience in the insurance industry, particularly in client relationship management and product development. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers, often requiring creative problem-solving and strategic thinking to navigate challenges.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed substantial portfolios, achieving record profitability and client retention. My organizational skills and ability to motivate teams have consistently led to favorable outcomes, even in adverse conditions. I am currently pursuing my Prince 2 Practitioner qualification, which will further enhance my project management capabilities.
