SSP appoints Global Head of Value Propositions

SSP, a leading a leading global provider of insurance technology, has strengthened its insurer division with the appointment of Sabine VanderLinden as Global Head of Value Propositions.

VanderLinden will play a key role in the development of the division’s global business solution strategy and its positioning and messaging as SSP seeks to expand its insurance company client base across the globe.

A major part of her brief is to ensure that the division, which already supplies software and services to over 130 insurance companies worldwide, continues to provide innovative solutions aligned to the pressures and challenges faced by insurers and MGAs.

VanderLinden brings a unique range of experience to the role having an in-depth knowledge of general insurance, strategic consulting and business development through previous roles with Lloyd’s, IBM, FICO and Chordiant.

She will report to sales director Nigel Kohler who commented: “We are currently seeing increasing demand from insurers looking to replace or enhance their technology as they seek to differentiate themselves and become more flexible and responsive to meet their customers’ needs. We are focused on helping insurance companies of all sizes to implement the best solutions possible to achieve their growth and operational objectives. Sabine will play a major part in making sure we continue to deliver this in an increasingly complex and inter-connected insurance market.”

VanderLinden said: “Insurers have to consider a multitude of priorities in order to achieve profitable growth and competitive advantage. Whether it’s enabling customer self-service, accessing multiple distribution channels efficiently or getting new products to market quickly, insurance companies need modern, more sophisticated technology to achieve this. SSP is at the forefront of developing the technology that insurers need to meet their short, medium and longer-term objectives, so the opportunity to continue to develop its global strategic focus for the future is a very exciting challenge. I am looking forward to helping maintain and improve SSP’s position in all of its territories around the world.”
