German insurer Allianz has appointed Iván de la Sota chief business transformation officer, effective April 1, 2018.
De la Sota will now lead a new division at Allianz, which will support the company’s efforts in launching new business platforms and technologies that arise as a result of growing demand from consumers for a more complete digital experience. This includes enhancing existing business models, while introducing new ones, and offering a flexible combination of personal advice and digital services, the company said.
