@patriciamacharia
I lead customer retention, digital self-service, and transformation initiatives across insurance services.
What I'm looking for
At Britam Life Assurance, I lead business engagement for the New Individual Life Administration System (NILAS), connecting business units, vendors, technology teams, and project stakeholders through a major transformation programme.
I've built my career across five progressively responsible roles at Britam, most recently leading customer retention and self-service initiatives. I expand digital access through customer portals, mobile applications, and agent apps while improving onboarding, product adoption, renewals, customer health scores, and churn reduction.
I translate customer and operational needs into requirements, process improvements, training, and technology delivery. With 15+ years in insurance and financial services, I bring customer operations, CRM, change management, data analysis, and remote cross-functional collaboration to senior customer success and transformation work.
