Finlex strengthens its Austrian team
The Viennese team of Finlex will be strengthened in May with Mgr Zuzana Ruzsikova, a proven financial lines expert. She was most recently Senior Underwriter Liability & Financial Lines at R+V Versicherung AG. Prior to that, she was, among other things, Financial Lines Broker at Funk International Austria GmbH and Underwriter International Liability/Financial Lines at UNIQA Insurance Group AG.
Zuzana Ruzsikova: “The future belongs to the digitalisation of the insurance industry. The transformation of the insurance industry has long since begun and can no longer be stopped. I am very pleased to become part of such a modern and innovative company. I am happy to use my professional know-how and my many years of experience from the financial lines sector as well as from the Austria and CEE region at Finlex and thus become part of the success story of this enormously growing scale-up.”
“We are delighted to have gained Zuzana Ruzsikova, a proven expert, as Financial Lines Insurance Expert Austria+ CEE – just in time for the go-live of the Austrian Finlex platform in May 2022”, Peter Loisel, Country Head Austria of Finlex, is pleased to announce.
Finlex started its first internationalisation steps in Austria at the beginning of the year, with Dr. Peter Loisel as Country Head Austria.
