Interview with Blessing Ekereke from Allianz Consulting.
Blessing started as a Data Scientist and is now a Senior Consultant at Allianz Consulting.
My life before joining Allianz Consulting
Before joining Allianz, my journey was far from ordinary. It began in Russia with a degree in Petroleum Engineering, followed by a career as a data scientist in a biotech startup in Berlin. I then ventured to Ethiopia, where I helped streamline the operations of a home service delivery company through data automation. Each step sharpened my skills and prepared me for the global stage. Now, I’m driving innovation at Allianz consulting, one project at a time.
"At Allianz Consulting, every project is an opportunity to tackle real challenges, break new ground, and shape the future of insurance. It’s where innovation meets impact, and boundaries are meant to be pushed."
My motivation to join Allianz Consulting
My motivation to join Allianz Consulting stemmed from my passion for technology and an affinity for the insurance industry’s evolving landscape. Having worked in diverse roles, I saw an opportunity at Allianz consulting to drive meaningful change from within, using innovative solutions to solve complex insurance challenges. The in-house consulting model attracted me because it allows for a deep understanding of Allianz’s core business while offering the agility to implement impactful strategies across various functions.
What I enjoy most at Allianz Consulting
What I enjoy most at Allianz Consulting is the unique blend of working within the insurance industry while being part of an in-house consultancy. It’s rewarding to tackle challenges that directly impact our business, from enhancing digital resilience to implementing cutting-edge technologies like GenAI. I particularly enjoy the cross departmental collaborations which enables the delivery of tailored solutions that not only drive innovation but also strengthen Allianz’s core insurance operations.
