Mariana Ishchuk, a senior insurance professional, with over 15 years of experience in the Life and Health insurance sector, has held several senior roles since joining Allianz Group over seven years ago. Most recently, Mariana acted as Head of Strategy and Network Management for Allianz Global Benefits (now part of Allianz Partners), where she was responsible for strategic steering and management of the relationship with network insurers.

Eric brings a wealth of financial experience to his new role and will be critical in supporting the execution of the health strategy.

Speaking about the appointments, Ida Luka-Lognoné, Chief Officer, Health at Allianz Partners, said: “We are delighted to announce these two senior appointments during a time of growth for our business. With the integration of Allianz Global Benefits, our offering has expanded significantly. We can provide a much broader scope of employee benefit solutions alongside our traditional health insurance, reinsurance, administration, and health services. And we’ll be able to knit together global and local solutions through a much wider network of partners, meeting the growing demand for simplified, locally compliant solutions. Supporting the growth and demand of digital access to care, we can offer a broad range of health services on a global scale. Mariana brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our team, and we are confident she will help us accelerate our strategic projects, drive our long-term vision, and steer its implementation. Eric’s strong background in Financial Planning & Controlling will be key in executing our strategy in the months and years ahead.”
