Career file - Ida Luka-Lognoné: Allianz Worldwide Care names new CEO
Allianz Worldwide Care has announced that Ida Luka-Lognoné, executive committee member of Allianz Worldwide Partners, has succeeded Ron Buchan as CEO.
Ida Luka-Lognoné joined Elvia Travel Insurance Group in 1992, when she was appointed director of business development for Central and Eastern Europe in 1996.
She became director of the European Region for Mondial Assistance Group in 2000, and a member of its executive committee in 2002.
Before joining Allianz Worldwide Partners' executive committee in January 2014, responsible for strategy, innovation and market management, Luka-Lognoné was CEO for Europe, Middle East and Africa within Allianz Global Assistance.
Luka-Lognoné said: "Having worked in the insurance industry for almost 25 years, I understand the dynamic evolution of this sector and I find that hugely motivating and exciting. In just 15 years Allianz Worldwide Care has grown from a greenfield start-up to become the market leader in international health insurance, with a consistent record of robust growth and a GWP of €1.1 billion in 2014. This level of expansion is due to Allianz Worldwide Care's client driven focus, offering a growing range of products, services and digital innovation."
