Help with Reinsurance Career Path/Formation
I graduated in Business Administration and landed a job as a Reinsurance Officer 6 months ago. Im 27 and have worked in real estate, marketing and public sector but had no previous insurance experience. I am great with numbers and dealing with people.
At this moment, I´m doing mostly Account Management, administrating all payments and finances for several clients which the company already had. My goal is to work my way up to the Commercial/Underwriting side of the company. Ive been learning a lot and familiarizing myself with the industry from the bottom. As of now, I haven´t taken any courses.
What would be a good starting point/certification to further specialize? I know they say reinsurance is mostly experience based, but I want to be the best at what I do and simply working won´t be enough. I want to spend my extra hours learning more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
