With over nine years of progressive experience in marine underwriting, I currently serve as the Marine Underwriting Manager at GIG Saudi (formerly AXA), where I oversee production across three key regions: Central, Western, and Eastern. My expertise spans underwriting, risk assessment, and insurance practices that enhance operational efficiency and support business growth.
Earlier in my career, I gained accounting experience at Singapore Airlines and developed strong relationship management skills at Bupa Arabia. This diverse background has strengthened my adaptability and ability to align underwriting strategies with broader organizational goals.
I am committed to driving impactful results, fostering collaboration across teams, and delivering value through innovative and precise underwriting solutions.
