Axel Zoma appointed Director of Verlingue's new Multinational Business Division Insurance broker
Verlingue, a subsidiary of the Adelaïde Group, has announced the creation of a Multinational Business Division, which will be headed by Axel Zoma. Reporting to Vincent Harel, Verlingue's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Zoma will join the company's French and European Executive Committees.
Verlingue aims to accelerate its development in supporting multinational clients by bringing together all of its expertise in consulting and managing international programmes in corporate risk and social protection within this new division. In this role, Axel Zoma will supervise all 'international' teams based in France and lead cross-border business development in collaboration with Verlingue's subsidiaries in Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, and England. He will work closely with all Verlingue entities in Europe to develop an integrated range of solutions for import and export, and coordinate relations with European insurers in close collaboration with the various country CEOs. He will also oversee operations carried out as part of the partnership with WBN (Worldwide Broker Network), the leading international insurance brokerage network comprising over 150 brokers in more than 100 countries. The Multinational Business Division comprises around twenty personal insurance and corporate risk experts, who are spread across all Verlingue subsidiaries and speak seven languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish. Our teams support over 800 multinational companies, making use of our technological tools dedicated to global management: Globe@ccess for Employee Benefits and Pulse for Business Risks. Axel Zoma has a Master's degree in Econometrics and Statistics from the Toulouse School of Economics and brings more than 25 years of experience in the French and international insurance brokerage markets. Throughout his career at Mercer, WTW and Alixio, and since 2022 at Verlingue, he has developed recognised expertise in supporting international companies, particularly with regard to complex risk issues and multi-country insurance programmes. Having held positions of increasing responsibility in challenging environments in France and abroad, he has acquired a global perspective on the strategic, operational and regulatory challenges associated with the international expansion of companies. His career reflects a constant commitment to collective performance, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction. “I am confident that Axel will collaborate closely with all of Verlingue's multidisciplinary teams in Europe and our international partners within WBN to develop high-value offerings and innovative digital solutions. I am sure that he will build lasting relationships of trust with our clients, thus contributing to our ambition to make the Adelaïde Group the leading family-owned broker in Europe,” said Vincent Harel, Verlingue's Chief Executive Officer.
