I started out as only a personal lines underwriter but within 3 months of my employment I was already doing Commercial Lines as well. I am currently based in Polokwane but I started out in Johannesburg, I became a victim of my success and had to change branches half way to ensure my career does not remain stagnant, as it is my I feel that my carreer is stagnant at the moment due to the structure of our organization. I also believe in changing things once in a while as change is constant and we must adopt. Analyzing degrees of risk and forming partnerships has become entrenched in my thinking over the past 5 years, which is why I feel I am the right candidate for this post. I am looking to build my career in the financial services sector.
