Bringing over 40 years of experience in corporate risk and insurance management to Sustema, his know-how and his extensive network within the commercial insurance industry will play a key role in the company’s ambitious growth plans.

«We are delighted to have Chris on our team», says Hans Zimmermann, CEO of Sustema. «He is a highly respected industry expert and has an impressive professional track record. Chris will reinforce Sustema’s continued commitment to bringing reliable and precise data analytics to commercial insurers to help them improve their risk management and underwriting performance.»

Christopher Lajtha adds: «These are exciting times as commercial insurance markets seek to leverage new insurtech initiatives for their own and their clients’ benefit. While many insurtech offerings have focused on improving back-office process efficiency, Sustema’s bold behavioural data analytics solution enables insurers to leverage ESG data and drive improved underwriting performance. Customer testing has produced some stunning results. Sustema has developed an elegant yet simple solution to drive greater effectiveness in the commercial underwriting process. After more than 40 years working in corporate risk and insurance management, it is a pleasure to help drive an innovative technology that is beneficial to the whole market.»
