Allianz Partners UK, a world leader in insurance and assistance services, has promoted Matt Crawford to Head of Automotive RSA and Customer Management Services. His promotion bolsters the company’s success in this area, serving several leading OEM clients.
Matt joined Allianz Partners twenty-one years ago and has held a number of positions in the organisation, most recently as Account Manager for the BMW Group brands.
Commenting on his promotion, Matt says, “I’m thrilled to be leading the automotive business and feel very privileged to have the opportunity to work closely with a wide number of leading brands – it’s a tremendous accolade.
“Starting my career as a technician was a good route into the automotive industry and has helped me understand how we can best support our OEM clients.”
Matt’s aptitude was also identified within the wider Allianz Partners group at the end of 2021 when he was invited to join the ‘Unleash’ talent management programme. Open to only 40 participants from across the globe, Unleash runs annually with the aim of identifying aspiring future leaders early in their career by tasking them with working on a strategic project with demonstrable impact.
Matt concludes: “I’m excited to be able to use all of the leadership and analytical skills developed through the Unleash programme to lead a fantastic team while exploring opportunities with new and existing business partners. I want to ensure we can support them in the ever changing climate focusing on customer experience and retention.”
