Sapiens expands in the Nordics with new head

Insurance software provider Sapiens International has expanded its footprint in the Nordic region by establishing a new head office in Copenhagen, Denmark and hiring a regional director.

Helle Holmer has been appointed as Sapiens' new Nordic regional director. He has over 15 years of experience in IT focusing on the insurance sector. He joins Sapiens from Deloitte Consulting Financial Services.

Holmer has also worked for IBM in the past, and for nearly three decades in the Nordic financial sector.

Roni Al-Dor, president and CEO of Sapiens, said: "Sapiens is focused on penetrating territories with potential for expansion.

"The Nordic region - a leading area for insurance, digitization and technology innovation - is a market where we have already experienced success, but there is significant opportunity for growth."

Holmer added: "I know first-hand that many Nordic insurers are limited by their legacy systems and are considering how to best prepare for the future - Sapiens is well-positioned to help them do so.”

"I look forward to combining my market expertise and long-standing relationships in the Nordic region with Sapiens' leading offerings and services, to help insurers succeed in a complex and quickly evolving market."
