What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in risk management and insurance, with a focus on innovative solutions and collaborative environments that foster growth and development.

I am a driven insurance professional with over 15 years of experience in risk management, underwriting, and claims handling. I have successfully managed risk portfolios exceeding KES 1 billion and led high-value programs for major accounts, including Safaricom PLC. My expertise lies in delivering customer-centric insurance solutions and optimizing client delivery processes, which has resulted in a 25% improvement in claims turnaround within my current role.

Recently certified in Enterprise Risk Management, I am actively pursuing opportunities to support emerging risk strategies and financial analysis within innovative, remote-based insurance and risk advisory roles. My strong ability to lead virtual collaborations and conduct remote client training has been instrumental in maintaining client satisfaction and regulatory compliance, especially during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
