After being recently acquired by BlackFin Capital Partners (100% shareholder), SPB Group – the European leader in affinity insurance – will place increased focus on development projects both in France and across Europe, by onboarding a new CEO.
Mathieu SÉBASTIEN became CEO on June 24 and will draw upon more than 20 years of experience in strategy consulting in France and Europe to lead the firm. Primarily focused on insurance sector clients throughout his career – most notably at Roland Berger and Oliver Wyman – he has supported several insurers, brokers, and service providers to revitalize growth, instill a culture of operational excellence, perform acquisitions, and execute complex transformation projects.
Mathieu SÉBASTIEN is tasked with executing a new strategy built upon 3 pillars:
- Refocusing on customer satisfaction
- Strengthening central functions to promote harmonization across business lines and geographies*
- Optimizing operational efficiencies
One of his priorities will be to finalize implementing SBP’s digital transformation in order to enhance user experience.
‘SPB is a historic group well-anchored in its markets with recognized expertise in designing and managing affinity insurance programs. I am delighted to take part in writing a new page of its story alongside its 850 employees. I am convinced of the growth potential of the Company, which places innovation, excellence, and integrity at the heart of its activities.’ declares Mathieu SÉBASTIEN.
