Reflecting on your 20-year career , can you share a key milestone that shaped your trajectory in financial services and insurance , as well as insights gained from challenges or regrets and how these contribute to your current role at Intellias ?

Reflecting on my 20-year career in financial services and insurance , the most impressive is the digital transformation wave within the industry . It was a pivotal moment when I realised the immense and not ending potential of leveraging technology to drive innovation and meet the evolving needs of clients in the sector .

A key milestone in my career was my role working with a global tier one service provider , heading sales in FS & I in Central Europe . In this role , I regularly negotiated significantly large deals with C-Level executives to deliver high quality network interconnectivity services globally . However , one of my key learnings was that we were less agile and innovative than midsize companies and less customer culture centric . So , I onboarded midsize well-established partners like Intellias , to come back to faster traction and more customers ’ need focused traction .

Seeing and feeling this special spirit of the Intellias people motivated me to move to my current role .

What excites me most about my role at Intellias is the opportunity to work alongside incredibly talented individuals and harness the power of digital technology to drive innovation in financial services and insurance .

Outside of work , my passion for motorsport as a driver , clay shooting and e-MtB riding reflects my competitive spirit and drive for excellence . These pursuits serve as a source of inspiration and fuel my determination to continually push boundaries and strive for success , both personally and professionally .
