About
After completing my studies in management and insurance, I founded an independent insurance brokerage. Five years later, I sold my portfolio to an MGA and transitioned into a portfolio management role. This marked my first experience in the world of delegated authority. The next logical step in my career was to work with an insurer, so I joined UAP (now AXA) as a property underwriter. Eventually becoming the manager of property insurance for an in-house MGA specializing in industrial insurance.
Driven by a desire to broaden my expertise across various lines of business and functions within insurance, I joined secondment agency Risk Executives. During these seven years, I gained valuable experience in claims, international affairs, and compliance. I also participated in several internal leadership and executive management programs, and external regulatory courses that led to certifications as an MGA and a Solvency II specialist.
My last role for Risk Executives was in the Marine & Aviation claims department of MS Amlin, where I was tasked with overseeing MGA audits. This led to a permanent position as Binder Manager Marine, eventually growing into the role of Delegated Authority Manager, marking my introduction to the Lloyd’s market. MS Amlin appointed MGAs in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany, which sparked my interest in the international aspect of the business.
When Lloyd’s prepared for Brexit and established Lloyd’s Europe with a vacancy for Delegated Authority Manager Europe, it was a natural next step for me to apply. Working at Lloyd’s has been a continuous learning experience, and after serving as Ad Interim Chief Underwriting Officer, which made me a member of the ExCo committee, I secured a permanent position as Head of Claims, Delegated Authority, and Underwriting Performance.
Now, with five years left in my career, I’ve decided to offer my broad knowledge, strategic perspective, and expertise to the market as an independent consultant. My focus is on supporting Managing Agents, MGAs, and brokers in the Delegated Authority space, with a strong emphasis on compliance.
