Please give us a full description of your career since graduating from university. If you were to remain with your present employer, what would be your next step in terms of position?
My career (after post-graduate studies) began with an initial clarity of my inclination towards the financial services industry. The privatization of Insurance in the country (early 2000) brought the perfect opportunity to join ABC Inc. and match interest with growth. I thus joined the Fire and Engineering underwriting department ABC and was quick to pick up on the nuances of Insurance products. In less than 2 years, I was generating insurance premiums in excess of USD 1.3 Mn.
The opportunity to gain greater line management experience brought me to DEF in October 2005. As the Solution Manager, I had transitioned to sales – managing a team of 30 personnel and providing innovative Banking Solutions to Small and Medium (SME) enterprises.
