• LOMA / FLMI or an equivalent professional insurance qualification preferred.
• Ten (10) or more years’ experience in life insurance, with broad exposure across distribution, underwriting, product management, and operations.
• A proven track record of delivering commercial growth and business development, preferably beyond pure bancassurance models.
• Experience working with local market leaders or regional life insurers, with exposure to multi‑jurisdictional operations and regulatory environments considered an asset.
• Demonstrated leadership in scaling businesses, building new distribution capabilities, or entering new markets.
