His previous experience is in industrial lines whilst serving as Head of Operational Controlling at HDI Global from 2016 to mid-2018.
Jungsthöfel has been a member of the Executive Board of HDI Global SE since May 2018. His responsibilities within his position were for the areas of controlling, risk management, corporate development and passive reinsurance.
He was also involved in stabilising HDI Global SE, provided pivotal support for the rehabilitation of property business and successfully restructured the finance function.
