HDI Global has announced that Konstantinos Semertzoglou will take over the executive management of its Greece branch office following the retirement of Notis Vagiakakos, who led the branch successfully for nearly two decades.
Semertzoglou is set to join the Greek office on the 1st of April, whereupon Vagiakakos will assist him in a transitional period to enable a smooth handover.
On the 1st of July 2023, subject to approval by the responsible regulatory authorities, Semertzoglou will take over the leadership of the Greek branch and Vagiakakos will act as a consultant thereafter.
David Hullin, Board member at HDI Global with responsibility for international markets, commented, “I would like to thank Notis for his great commitment to HDI Global.
“With his expertise, he has been essential for the very successful development of the Greek branch. I wish him all the best for his retirement.”
Semertzoglou joins HDI Global from Groupama Asfalistiki, where he served as Commercial Director, responsible for the entire sales network and customer service.
Throughout his two-and-a-half-decade career, he has held a variety of positions in the Greek insurance industry, all the while building strong relations with a large network of mid-market brokers.
Commenting on his new role, Semertzoglou said, “I am delighted to join HDI Global and to play my part in ensuring that the mid-market strategy is successfully implemented. The segment promises many opportunities both for HDI as well as for our clients and partners.
“Together with my experienced team at HDI we will find tailor-made solutions for clients and be a reliable partner for the Greek industry.”
Hullin concluded, “We are delighted that Konstantinos, a proven expert is joining us. With his broad knowledge in sales and the mid-market, he is the right person to successfully realise our extension to this important market segment. I wish him every success in his new role.”
