Welcoming Agata Przygoda
We’re proud to welcome a new intern to motif, although we think she might be overqualified for the title.
Dr. Agata Przygoda spent nearly 20 years at Allianz, working her way from banking operations in Poland through Allianz SE in Munich, driving the digitalisation of their Slovakia business, to running operations and IT as COO of Allianz Suisse. She holds a PhD in economics from the Warsaw School of Economics and has sat on the management board of one of Switzerland’s biggest insurers.
She’s taking a break for personal reasons this year and wanted to spend part of it learning how AI is being built for financial services from the inside, not from a conference stage or a strategy deck. She found motif and liked that we’re a small team building AI for regulated financial advisory.
For us it’s a brilliant trade because someone who has run operations at scale in Swiss regulated financial services understands the world our product needs to work in as well as we do, and that kind of experience doesn’t walk through the door of a startup very often.
She’s from Poland originally and like a few of us has made Switzerland home, which already makes her part of the furniture.
Welcome, Agata 🙌
