Allianz Worldwide Partners names Matthias Wuensche as Director, Global Market Management and Innovation
Wuensche will play a leading role in developing new product and service offerings and position Allianz Worldwide Partners as the partner of choice
Matthias Wuensche heads up the function that monitors and researches markets around the world, with the aim of generating and implementing new ideas that challenge established business models in the insurance and assistance industry. In order to respond rapidly to new opportunities, he is setting up and developing global innovation centers to create, test, and launch new products, services and business processes.
“My main goal is to ensure that Allianz Worldwide Partners stays one step ahead of our competitors by identifying strategic growth initiatives” said Matthias Wuensche. “In a fast-changing market, we must respond flexibly and efficiently to the needs of customers. In addition, we must aim to proactively drive disruption instead of being disrupted. This will involve coming up with solutions that challenge existing business models. As part of our global strategy and through our innovation centres, we will be launching new products and services – often digital – and certainly change established approaches. Furthermore, we will roll out easily scalable and successful pilots globally, ahead of our competitors.”
“We will also grow both our global as well as pan-regional offers utilizing our customer insights and market knowledge around the globe to do it,” he added. “Our vigorous approach – which also includes new and agile ways of working – allows us to intelligently fill gaps in the markets, and provide customers with unique benefits. This will not only drive customer satisfaction but propel further growth and enhance profitability.”
Matthias Wuensche, age 39, will also continue to be a member of the board of management at Allianz Global Automotive, which he joined in 2015. He joined Allianz Global Automotive in 2011 and held several senior positions where he played a vital role in its development and expansion. Before joining Allianz in 2011, he worked for many years in consulting, advising international clients on strategy, mergers and acquisitions, business turnaround and sales and marketing projects. He holds a diploma in business administration from the University of Mannheim, Germany.
Matthias Wuensche replaces Isabelle Delorme, who has taken on the role of Commercial Director for France and Southern Europe for Allianz Worldwide Partners.
