  • Evaluate and structure joint ventures, alliances, and other growth opportunities.

  • Partner with technology and product teams to implement systems that support automation, scalability, and customer engagement.

  • Build and mentor a high‑performing team, fostering a culture of ownership, innovation, and collaboration.
  • Represent the company in board meetings, investor discussions, and strategic planning sessions.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Operations, or a related field. MBA or advanced degree preferred
  • 15+ years of progressive leadership experience in operations, strategy, or general management roles with deep understanding of insurance operations.
  • Proven success in scaling operations in high‑growth or startup environments.
