What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead an insurance team, drive sales growth, manage budgets, and strengthen customer satisfaction through data-informed decisions and strong service delivery.

I’m an insurance agency and unit leader with hands-on experience improving performance, customer service, and day-to-day operations. I recruit, train, and supervise agents and support staff, then coach teams to consistently meet performance targets.

At Universal Insurance PLC, I’ve developed and implemented sales strategies to grow the agency’s client base, identified new markets and opportunities, and managed escalated client concerns to protect long-term relationships. I also oversee claims processing, policy renewals, and customer service to maintain strong client satisfaction.

As an Agency Manager, I manage the agency’s budget and financial performance, analyzing revenue, sales data, and expenses to find areas for improvement. I develop and execute long-term strategies while keeping up-to-date with market trends and competitive activities.

Earlier roles strengthened my customer-focused foundation—handling customer issues for mobile app operations at TrueSaver Limited, supporting primary school instruction as a teacher, and delivering customer service as a teller at United Bank for Africa. With certifications in CIIN & ARIAN, I bring an analytical mindset, clear communication, and disciplined team organization to every engagement.
