Speaking about the appointments, Ida Luka-Lognoné, Chief Officer, Health at Allianz Partners, said:
"Appointments during a time of growth for our business. With the integration of Allianz Global Benefits, our offering has expanded significantly. We can provide a much broader scope of employee benefit solutions alongside our traditional health insurance, reinsurance, administration and health services. And we’ll be able to knit together global and local solutions through a much wider network of partners, meeting the growing demand for simplified, locally compliant solutions. Supporting the growth and demand of digital access to care, we can offer a broad range of health services on a global scale. Mariana brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our team, and we are confident she will help us accelerate our strategic projects, drive our long-term vision, and steer its implementation. Eric’s strong background in Financial Planning & Controlling will be key in executing our strategy in the months and years ahead.”
