Summary

With over 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, I am passionate about applying my actuarial and analytical skills to manage and optimize non-life insurance portfolios. I hold a degree in Actuarial Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and I have a strong understanding of the financial and technical aspects of insurance, especially the relationship between technical pricing and profit and loss.

As the Head of Pricing and Business Analytics at Ageas Portugal, I am responsible for making data-driven decisions and providing strategic insights for the non-life business lines. I lead a team of professionals who perform pricing, profitability tracking, statistical modelling, scenario analysis, and core system improvements. I also coordinate cross-functional teams and collaborate with other functions such as claims management, underwriting, and financial reporting. My goal is to deliver innovative and competitive solutions that meet the needs and expectations of our customers and stakeholders, while ensuring the sustainability and growth of our company.
