Business Career and professional Development

1989: I joined Hannover Re to work as an actuarial treaty underwriter in one of the Life Departments dealing especially with clients from English speaking markets.

1992: The substantial growth of Hannover Re's activities in life reinsurance since the early 90's also led to new organizational structures, and so I took the challenge to join the newly founded Medical Underwriting Department. Although this was a major change compared to the previous specialized actuarial work, I was attracted by the complex mixture of medicine, statistics, involvement in product development and contacts with a growing global network of clients as well as branch offices.

2003: I decided to go back to the roots and took up an offer to head one of the market departments within Hannover Life Re Germany.

2004: I was promoted to Associate Director and together with a highly motivated team of 6 treaty underwriters I am responsible for business coming from German speaking markets including Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria and all German business as far as it is not part of the HDI group.

Hobbies and Sports

In my spare time, I like to listen to my CD collection and to read good fiction as well as any book about the Antarctic continent that I can get hold of. In addition, I am very much interested in movies and a proud owner of a high-end home cinema system. Especially during springtime and summer, I enjoy doing gardening and riding my bicycle in the surroundings of Hannover.
