About

I'm a fresh graduate in Economics, employed as a Marine Underwriter Manager Assistant since November 2013 at XL Company SE, a multinational player in the insurance industry. I possess fair communication and mediation abilities in both Italian and English acquired by my daily contacts with brokers. My problem solving skills stand out in computer related issues; furthermore, I'm proficient in most of the MS Office applications (particularly in Excel and Power Point).Flexibility and hard working attitude are my key features: I'm a fast pace learner and I would be enthusiast to have the possibility of joining job rotation programs, especially if they require long transfers or even relocation.

My job consist in issuing and administering local and international complex marine coverages schemes, from wording emissions to final credit control checks over the booked premiums. My primary task is to act as a medium between my underwriter and the brokers in order to smooth their professional relationships. I mostly help the latter in answering their demands, mostly related to the scope of our coverages or to issues encountered in dealing with our client-side IT tools. In order to cope with such tasks I've acquired a solid knowledge of IT dynamics, English fluency and a certain degree of self-organization.
