Farirai Gora

A biochemistry graduate by discipline I graduated in 2010.

Since then I’ve been able to carve out a career for myself in the insurance industry. I have over 12 years’ exclusive experience in the Lloyd’s and London insurance market. I help my clients exceed prior business performance and stay on the competitive edge of the global insurance market. I am a precise, strategic and qualified, product innovation and business change specialist.

I excel at driving forward business growth and regulatory agendas. I have worked with broking, underwriting, claims and operations teams. I lead my stakeholders in translating i) emerging risks and technology, ii) market trends, iii) UK FCA/PRA regulation into business and operational delivery goals. Achieving cutting-edge future proof change and technology outcomes compliant with the information security regulatory landscape.

I define and deliver project specific as well as long term outsourcing objectives with various partners.

I implicitly and explicitly lead teams across the full business change life cycle. I have strong stakeholder management skills used in scope definition, managing expectations and negotiating profitable outcomes. I have delivered operational transformation on large multi-million pound programs as well as stand-alone projects. Fondly called a ‘completer finisher’ I apply both a top-down and detailed perspective.

My expertise includes business continuity planning, scenario testing, front and middle office, HR, compliance, process re-engineering, scope definition and management, requirement elicitation, project reports, cost control, supplier management, team management, sprint planning, customer presentations, project close and adoption of large-scale business transformation and change.
