  I’m an industry professional with robust experience throughout all corners and aspects of the business. ══ PRINCIPLES ══ After being given the opportunity I took control of a $700M Home and Auto Personal Lines organization comprised of NYC home office and recently acquired entity in Boston where I built Product Management operations, and designed and implemented new HNW/Affluent products and the brand NatGen Premier. I returned business unit to profitability within two years using all operational levers available. In Chicago I specialized in Organizational Restructuring where I built a new Chicago Product Management Office creating over fifty positions for predictive modelers, actuaries, product analysts, IT specialists, and product managers. I also consolidated P&L accountability under the Product Manager to enable a holistic strategic approach to the market including underwriting, sales, service and claims while managing the Personal Lines office through significant change including an acquisition with little impact to staff and productivity. Taking a strategic initiative on profit and loss management, I built a management system to support teams, including pricing and sales measures by implementing a new multi-variate auto rating plan. I developed and implemented new by-peril multi-variate homeowners rating plan, and redefined risk appetite in the Northeast to fully leverage product portfolio, growing premium 10%. Championing a standardized product design and build process involving technical staff, I enabled the generation of products quicker in order to support aggressive geographic expansion across seventeen states by 2015. ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Operational | Leader | Product |Pricing and Analytics |Underwriting |Reinsurance | IT | Insurance | Pricing | Product Management | Property & Casualty Insurance | Risk Management | Analysis | Commercial Insurance | Competitive Analysis | Claims Management | Professional Liability Show less

• Vice President - Product Management

  • Feb 2009 - Feb 2012

  Management, leadership, delivery, and a focus on driving business value with actionable tactics and strategies. ══ PROCESS ══ I was thrilled at the opportunity to be promoted from Director to VP within a year to join a Global Product Management team, leading high-net-worth and affluent homeowners’ business line. I proudly managed 10-person product management team covering 39 states and achieved profitability in a down economy by increasing margin 9 percentage points on $500M homeowners’ book. I changed how CAT capacity was deployed by determining which accounts consumed utilized too much capacity relative to the premium charged and won Allianz Innovator of the Year for initiatives in price segmentation and competitive analysis. Using organizational leadership I staffed a Product Management group of over fifteen talented individuals across multiple states and established clearly defined underwriting protocol to keep high-net-worth and affluent homeowners products aligned across brokers and regions. I drove the initiative for a new collaborative process to build a 3-year financial plan for Personal Insurance division, modeling run rates and price changes based on elasticity impacting renewal and new-business premiums, and evaluated loss-leading segments in each state, against 35 rating elements, changing the underwriting guidelines and pricing to reflect actual risk in those markets. I believe we should build a corporate culture that is data centric, so as live feedback comes in you can change the offering to make it right for the consumers/distributors. That's when you’re able to invest more heavily in the in the offering to maximize the value, making it perform. ══ SPECIALTIES ══ Operational | Leader | Product |Pricing and Analytics |Underwriting |Reinsurance | IT | Insurance | Pricing | Product Management | Property & Casualty Insurance | Risk Management | Analysis | Commercial Insurance | Competitive Analysis | Claims Management | Professional Liability Show less
