Christina Almtun Appointed as New European Head at Agria
Agria welcomes Christina Almtun as the new head of the European business area. With ultimate responsibility for operations in seven countries, she is tasked with leading and developing the business in line with the company's goal of becoming the leading pet insurance company in Europe.
"We are pleased to welcome Christina to Agria as part of our continued growth journey. With her extensive background in the insurance industry and proven track record in leading growth and building successful companies, Christina brings the experience, energy, and commitment needed for the role. We are confident that she will significantly strengthen our market position," says David Haak, CEO of Agria.
Agria is headquartered in Sweden and operates in seven European countries: Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. In addition to being responsible for the existing markets, Christina Almtun will also lead growth in future expansions into new countries.
