I am responsible for underwriting, marketing, and managing a book of business to meet strategies and personal performance goals. I collaborate across all lines of the business to provide a total account solution for Travelers' current and future clients. I also perform in-depth competitor analysis through monitoring rate actions, underwriting guidelines, and product design for both current and future products.
A great day at work is based on productivity- That said, I work off of a running To Do list that I extract items from on a daily basis to focus my tasks for specific day. That daily list should include specific task related to the current transaction that I am working on, which ultimately rolls up to a 12-plan for evaluating the entire transaction. The day would also include responding to internal/external customer requests and regular monthly reporting that may be due.
