Alexandru Leondari has been appointed chief commercial officer of Eureko Asigurari. He will replace, from the end of June, Shaun Russell who has held the position since 2008 and whose three years mandate ends this month.
Leondari is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy ” Gr. T Popa” – Iasi. He has a high level of experience in insurance distribution and has formerly worked for Aviva Group Romania as deputy general manager and chief distribution officer.
“I am honored to take over this position and to continue Eureko’s development strategy. In spite of the harsh economic climate, that has also affected insurance sales, I am confident in the opportunities this market is offering. Starting from the former steps taken by Eureko in the health and life insurance field, I believe we will find new development areas, within a market that is still far from reaching its potential”, said Alexandru Leondari.
Before coming to Romania, Shaun held several executive positions, for Eureko, in Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
Eureko is an unlisted leading insurance group that besides its home country The Netherlands, is also active in seven other European countries. The group is present in Romania through Eureko Asigurari and Eureko Societate de Administrare a Fondurilor de Pensii Private.
