He fosters a culture of collaboration, trust, and shared responsibility, allowing each individual to thrive and contribute to our success”.

Andreas vision for Upptec focuses on strengthening relationships with existing clients, helping them solve more problems, and scaling the business in Europe by focusing on key markets. 

One of Andreas’s top priorities is advancing Open-Link, a plug-n-play Self Service tool that enables policyholders to manage their claims directly. This has already been successful with Upptec’s clients and plans are in place to enhance it further. To stay at the forefront of the industry, Upptec is also making significant investments in artificial intelligence.

“My journey at Upptec, from onboarding our first international clients to taking on the role of CEO, has been driven by one guiding principle: our customers and their customers. Understanding their needs, solving their problems, and making their lives easier with our technology.

As I step into this new role, I am ready to leverage my experience, our team’s talent, and our commitment to customer success to steer Upptec towards a future of sustained growth and impact.”
