In our digital-first era, innovation is crucial, and as Head of Client Engagement, I am committed to leveraging our expert research and data-driven insights to support (re)insurers in managing complex disability employer liability claims efficiently.”
Similarly, Schippa noted, “I am delighted to become part of the thriving Pro Global team in Germany. The occupational disability insurance market is continuously evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities for insurers and MGAs. My focus will be on driving product innovation and continuously expanding our service offerings to equip clients with the best solutions.
