Additionally, Anthony managed and set up 3 operational offshore service centres simultaneously from scratch, comprising over 2000 individuals until late 2013. Soon after, Mr. Thomas moved to the UAE, where he was an account manager for Allianz Partners, one of the top international financial services providers globally. Allianz offers over 86 million customers worldwide products and solutions in insurance and asset management. The highlights of Anthony’s 7 years at the firm would be that he developed and refined all mobile insurance products, digital risk programs that are worth nearly $20 million, and back-end business processes that preserved excellent customer experience while reducing costs by over $2 million annually.
Mr. Anthony’s passion and astounding experience for technology and innovation have led him to be the co-founder and CIO of PolkaCover. By channeling his knowledge and focusing on PolkaCover, he will make us reach unimaginable successes.
At PolkaCover, we will connect users & multi-national insurance providers with all global insurance products such as crypto-related protection, health, life, education & family insurance plans, and would be working towards adding more products in the longer run. The platform would be providing several tokenized incentives making it up to 40% cheaper than any traditional insurance channel.
