PRINCETON, N.J.--()--Munich Reinsurance America, Inc. (Munich Re, US) has created a key strategic position in its Reinsurance Division to help clients seize opportunities resulting from the rapidly developing field of InsurTech. Robert Mozeika will assume the new role as Innovation Executive.

“Munich Re continues to quickly develop its position as a global innovation leader in the insurance industry, and is at the forefront of changes taking place in InsurTech, helping clients derive the most value from emerging opportunities,” said Steve Levy, President, Reinsurance Division, Munich Re, US. “Given our presence in Silicon Valley and other leading innovation hubs around the world, we’ve developed relationships with the key players and startups that are driving the InsurTech revolution. Our goal is to identify opportunities and collaborate with clients to bring to market new insurance solutions and products coming out of InsurTech.”

In his new role, Mozeika will work with Munich Re, US’s Client Management team to match reinsurance clients with new products and solutions developed in the InsurTech space that help address specific client needs. It is also anticipated that this position will present the company with various business opportunities as its clients increasingly pursue InsurTech alternatives.

With his knowledge of technology trends, his extensive network in this area and his consultative experience, Bob is a perfect fit to provide this valuable service to our clients,” said Levy.

In his new role, Mozeika will serve as a member of the Reinsurance Division Leadership Team which reports to Levy. Mozeika will be based in Princeton while maintaining strong connections to Silicon Valley.
