Huntington Advisory, a global strategic advisory firm focused on financial institutions, announces the appointment of Alexander Ankel as senior advisor based in Düsseldorf.
The appointment accelerates the company’s European expansion strategy. As the German re/insurance industry faces the complexities of regulatory change, lower yields, digital transformation and major consolidation, Ankel’s local knowledge and global perspective will help clients navigate these challenges.
Ankel has more than thirty years of experience in the insurance industry, including 20 years in Asia Pacific, as well as experience in Türkiye, the Middle East and Europe.
He previously held senior management positions at Allianz, Munich Re and ERGO, most recently serving as a member of the supervisory board of ERGO Insurance Singapore for six years.
He has a proven track record of driving growth and transformation in Europe and Asia, having served as CEO and regional CEO in markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Türkiye.
Gerard Pennefather, Founder and Managing Partner of Huntington Consulting, said: “Huntington Consulting’s principle is to provide clients with direct access to the highest levels of senior expertise.
“Alexander is a leader who has served as CEO on multiple continents. His ability to operate in complex regulatory environments and execute transformative transactions in Germany and beyond will be a tremendous asset to our clients looking to capitalize on cross-border opportunities.”
Ankel commented: “I have always admired Huntington’s focused, senior-led model. The firm’s commitment to deep domain expertise rather than general consulting aligns closely with my own experience. I look forward to working with Gerald and the team to support clients in their most critical strategic decisions, from major transactions to complex transformations, both in Germany and globally.”
