She concentrated on enhancing customer retention strategies and navigating the evolving complexities of the insurance sector. In recent years, she has addressed challenges such as high-risk factors tied to climate change, which have prompted insurers to reassess coverage offerings and minimize exposure in vulnerable areas.
