Über Francesca
Strategic Executive Leader with over 25 years of high-level experience in the insurance industry.
After a career as a Senior Executive, I am now transitioning my expertise into independent strategic consultancy. I offer high-impact strategic guidance and operational excellence to organizations, supporting Executive Boards and Management teams through critical transition missions.
As a former Chief Actuary, Board Member, and Senior Auditor, I offer a rare hybrid expertise: combining deep actuarial modeling with robust corporate governance. I have navigated the “Three Lines of Defense” at the highest levels, specializing in building resilient structures that bridge the gap between regulatory compliance and operational performance.
Why partner with me for your freelance missions?
- Immediate Seniority: No learning curve. I step into complex environments (BGaap, Solvency II, IFRS17) with the authority of a peer to your C-suite.
- Objective Perspective: As an independent consultant, I provide unbiased audits and strategic counsel, free from internal corporate politics.
- Flexibility & Impact: I bring the rigor of a "Big Four" partner with the agility and dedicated focus of a boutique freelancer.
Core areas of intervention:
- Strategic Counsel: Advising Executive Boards on complex risk landscapes and financial reporting.
- Governance & Audit: Specialized in internal control, regulatory compliance, and strengthening the actuarial function.
- Transition Leadership: Leading multidisciplinary teams through large-scale projects or organizational shifts.
I am a solution-oriented leader dedicated to driving operational excellence and providing high-impact strategic guidance to senior management.
