Insurtech wefox taps top talent from Allianz for IT leadership role

Berlin-based digital insurance company  wefox has strengthened its senior team with the hiring of a top talent from insurer Allianz.

Ravindra Nath (pictured) has joined the insurtech as chief information officer (CIO).

Nath has previously held several global IT leadership roles at Allianz for more than seven years. He joined Allianz in 2014 from Accenture, where he worked for almost a decade in senior technology consulting roles.

Julian Teicke, chief executive officer and founder of wefox group and insurance, said: “[Nath’s] appointment takes a step closer to making our business ten times more productive and our customer experience is second to none. Ravindra brings with him not only a bedrock of knowledge of the insurance industry but also extensive experience of the benefits to be gained by the convergence of technology, strategy and business. We will undoubtedly benefit from his integration and transformation skills.”

Nath commented: “I am thrilled to be one of the senior team at wefox. Not only will I be ensuring our business is ten times more productive and our customer experience is second to none as Julian notes, I will also ensure our business is compliant, secure and sufficiently agile to scale at pace.

“An exciting part of achieving those goals is the creation of the outstanding tech workplace for all wefoxers. Not only will we deploy cutting edge technology elevating employee experience to new levels, we will develop an environment that is efficient, easy, clever and fun.”
