Pro Global hires managing director from Crawford to boost German business

Specialist re/insurance provider Pro Global Insurance Solutions has appointed Jan-Henning Evers as new managing director to spearhead growth in managing complex claims in Germany.

In his new role at Pro Claims Solutions GmbH, Evers will report to the head of Germany Robert Buchberger, and will be based in Sundern and Cologne.

Evers will be tasked with growing the organisation to respond to an increased market demand for specialist claims services across occupational disability and health.

Prior to this new role, Evers worked for Crawford & Company (Germany) in which he held senior roles including legal counsel, head of liability and most recently head of loss adjusting. He began his career as a claims handler for Munich Re’s insurance subsidiary ERGO.

"Jan joins Pro at a time when the market is looking to drive efficiencies while managing complex claims and ensuring excellent customer care," Buchberger said. "We want to keep growing and expanding our level of facilities to provide all current and future customers with the very best service."

"Jan will play a key role in our strengthening the German business. Working alongside our high-quality team I am convinced that Jan will dynamically develop Pro Claims Solutions."

Evers commented: "The insurance industry has a need for services from a company like Pro Claims Solutions, that can provide specially tailored teams to manage complex live claims from initial assessment through to final legal review. With my experience dealing with very specialist claims, I am looking forward to working with my new team to help grow the business."
