Allianz Partners announces changes to board of management

Allianz Partners has appointed two new members to its board of management.

The firm – which specialises in B2B2C health and life, travel insurance and mobility and assistance – said that Phil Hoffman had been appointed chief officer for travel, as well as taking a position on the board.

He will begin the role on 15 April 2026, subject to regulatory approval, and will report directly to chief executive at Allianz Partners, Tomas Kunzmann.

Hoffman inherits the c-suite role from Anna Kofoed, who was herself appointed chief officer for global strategic partnerships in January 2026 and has likewise now taken up a position on the board of management.

Kofoed succeeded Jean-Marc Pailhol, who has moved on to support the firm’s development of a specialised insurance and assistance offering for high net worth individuals.

Proven ability

Kunzmann said: “I am thrilled to welcome Hoffman to our board of management. His deep understanding of the Allianz ecosystem and proven ability to drive innovation and profitable growth will be instrumental in expanding our travel business.

“Hoffman’s entrepreneurial mindset and customer-centric approach align seamlessly with our vision to deliver best in class solutions for our partners and customers.”

He continued: “I am equally excited that Kofoed has taken over our global strategic partnerships function. Kofoed is an inspirational and visionary leader who has a remarkable ability to anticipate industry trends and translate them into impactful solutions for our clients.

“Her leadership has not only driven exceptional growth in our travel business, but has also inspired teams across the organisation to push boundaries and deliver key innovations.

“I am confident that her forward thinking approach and passion for building meaningful and long lasting partnerships will take our strategic collaborations to new heights.”
