Head of Sales and Marketing (last position)

Allianz Insurance

(Several insurance & banking companies) While starting out as a qualified field sales person and Life Insurance specialist at today's Delta Lloyd, my career had developed through several renowned companies (i.e. Zurich Insurance Trust, today's Santander Consumer Bank) to the position of Head of Sales and Marketing at an independent insurance broker where I established a field sales organization in Germany's metropolitan areas and further expanded the company's revenue quickly.

In addition, I created new target group oriented insurance products in cooperation with some of the major insurance companies (i.e. ERGO).

Zusammenfassung

Securing sustainable growth is my passion while always putting the customer in focus. In addition, I bring a very timely - old school mindset that has never been more sought after than today: I love to keep things above break even instead of burning third party's cash.
