Our client is one of the largest insurance companies in Europe selling its services through traditional and digital channels which are rapidly growing. It has acquired a state of the art expertise in the latter, which enables it to successfully and rapidly expand in several countries.

In Canada, it is starting up a 100% digital P & C insurance company, with this objective:“We want to create a truly disruptive insurance company that will resonate with the Canadian marketplace.  A trusted, simple and easy to understand insurance proposition. We use modern technology to support state of the art customer journeys. Our DNA as a mutual insurance company guides our offerings and leads us to developing lasting relationships with our customers. While we may be over 200 years old and have a long tradition of supporting families,individuals, farmers and many more with insurance products throughout Europe, we embrace the idea of creating a new kind of insurance company.  One that treats customers as owners.  And offers insurance coverage that is simple, transparent and affordable.  All delivered digitally.”

The company is currently recruiting to form the team who will launch this new digital insurance company in Canada, designed to challenge how insurance is delivered in Canada. The goal is to grow to 200 employees within 5 years.
