What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an insurance and risk role where I can own underwriting decisions, reduce losses through data-driven risk assessment, and grow into stronger analytics capability while contributing to a high-integrity, collaborative team.

I’m an results-driven insurance, finance, and risk management professional committed to integrity, continuous learning, and collaborative leadership. I deliver exceptional outcomes by combining strong risk assessment with clear communication that builds trust with clients and colleagues.

As a Property and Motor Insurance Underwriter at Old Mutual Insurance Company, I evaluate and approve 400+ insurance applications with a 95% accuracy rate in risk assessment. I’ve developed underwriting guidelines that reduced claim losses by 20%, tailored insurance solutions with brokers and clients to lift customer satisfaction by 30%, and supported emerging risk identification through market research.

Previously, I served as a Life Assurance Underwriter at Old Mutual LifeAssurance, where I maintained a 98% accuracy rate and improved operational efficiency by optimizing underwriting software. Earlier, as a Claims Administrator at Nicoz Diamond Insurance Company, I supervised claim operations to reduce backlog by 20% and maintained a 99% satisfaction rating, and now I’m expanding my capabilities through DataAnalytics education.
