Nienke and Thomas served as Innovation Managers, assigned by Achmea. During their time as an Innovation Managers and CIT team members, they focused on testing and validating new products, technologies, services, and business offerings to challenge the existing insurance industry, whilst leveraging the skills and capabilities of the partner companies and following trends and identifying innovation actions.
Nienke and Thomas: In the past year as members of the CIT we experienced and learned a lot and had a great time. One of the main things we learned is: If you view a situation in your own country from an international perspective, you will see new opportunities and concepts that otherwise you would have never found. That is the value Eurapco delivers!
