Munich, December 22, 2025
Allianz is advancing its vision for future growth by leveraging connected platforms that integrate insurance expertise, AI-enhanced technologies, and a global network of service providers. To support this strategy, Allianz is strengthening collaboration between Solvd Group, its global claims and repair specialist, and the Mobility business of Allianz Partners, renowned for its B2B2C insurance and assistance services. Dirk Vogler (50) will oversee the newly created Mobility Line of Business of Allianz Partners as Chief Mobility Officer and Member of the Board of Management, reporting to Allianz Partners’ CEO Tomas Kunzmann. Bringing all mobility activities under unified leadership, Vogler is also appointed CEO of Solvd, as of January 2026.
Dirk Vogler joins Solvd and Allianz Partners from Allianz Commercial where he held Board of Management mandates from 2023 to 2025 and was instrumental in transforming the operating model across the regions to better serve corporate customers in an integrated approach. Anne-Sophie Grouchka, previous CEO of Solvd Group, has decided to step down from her executive role after nearly 14 years of dedicated service to Allianz.
Allianz SE Board Member Sirma Boshnakova, responsible for Insurance Western & Southern Europe, Allianz Direct, Allianz Partners, and Solvd commented:
“We are thrilled to further advance the ‘Connected Platforms’ strategy by enhancing collaboration between Allianz Partners and Solvd Group. We are bringing two successful entities more closely together, which deliver strong growth, pioneer innovation, and deliver unparalleled value to our customers at a time when our industry demands nothing less.
I would like to express our gratitude to Anne-Sophie Grouchka for her achievements and dedication to Allianz and Solvd Group. Her leadership has shaped a powerful ecosystem at the crossroads of technology and services. At the same time, I am looking forward to welcoming Dirk Vogler to our leadership team to shape the next chapter of Solvd and our mobility solutions business.”
During Capital Markets Day in December 2024, Allianz unveiled “Connected Platforms”, poised to revolutionize the way customers engage with insurance. Connected Platforms represent integrated digital assets designed to offer an omnichannel and ultra-personalized experience to more than 100 million customers. At the core of this Allianz strategy are three distinct businesses: Allianz Partners, Allianz Direct, and Solvd. Currently, over 20 percent of Allianz's property and casualty growth stems from these Connected Platforms, and Allianz aims to accelerate this growth trajectory, adding at least another 3 billion euros in top-line revenue and more than doubling operating profit by 2027.
A new model for mobility services
Under the new collaborative model, Allianz Partners and Solvd bring strong assets and capabilities to the table, such as trusted relationships with customers and partners, a solid physical network, advanced digital technology, robust data, and talented people. Allianz Partners' world-class roadside assistance and innovative mobility solutions will be complemented by Solvd's comprehensive claims and repair management expertise. This combination positions Allianz to create a unique model in the mobility services sector – one that expands and enhances the customer experience in an even more frictionless, meaningful way.
To maximize the benefits of this collaboration, Allianz Partners will evolve its current Mobility & Assistance line of business into two distinct business areas: the newly created Mobility area under the leadership of Dirk Vogler and the Home Line of Business, encompassing all end-to-end home assistance, claims, and warranty solutions, including Easy Living services, and Mobile Device and Digital Risk solutions. Under the leadership of Beatriz Corti Stuber, Chief Officer for Home & Digital Services and Board Member of Allianz Partners, this business area aims to become a multi-billion business, driven by innovation and a commitment to excellence.
