Summary

I am a dedicated, result-oriented insurance expert with many years of experience in various sectors of the industry.

As an international broker for multinational organizations, it is my main goal to fully understand my customers' risk landscape and to discuss the pro and cons of the various risk management techniques at hand.

Once risk transfer is understood to be the best solution to a particular risk, I take responsibility to organize the best-possible insurance solution with the help of my team of specialists and implement it internationally by way of structured insurance programs.

I am an empathic, open and communicative personality, a good listener with a structured, reliable way of working. This, paired with a strong urge to continually advance and accept new challenges make me a versatile, dynamic and efficient professional.
