On the heels of its recent acquisition by BlackFin Capital Partners, affinity insurance company SPB Group has announced the appointment of Mathieu Sebastien (pictured above) as CEO.

Sebastien became CEO effective June 24. He has more than 20 years of experience in strategy and consulting, with a primary focus on insurance sector clients. Previously holding positions at Roland Berger and Oliver Wyman, Sebastien has assisted several insurers, brokers and service providers in revitalising growth, making acquisitions and executing transformation projects.

As SPB Group’s CEO, Sebastien is tasked with executing a new company strategy built in three pillars:

  • Refocusing on customer satisfaction
  • Strengthening the company’s central functions to harmonise across business lines and geographies
  • Optimising operational efficiency

One of Sebastien’s priorities will be to finalise the implementation of SPB’s digital transformation, the company said.

“SPB is a historic group, well-anchored in its markets, with recognised expertise in designing and managing affinity programs,” Sebastien said. “I am delighted to take part in writing a new page of its story alongside its 850 employees. I am convinced of the growth potential of the company, which places innovation, excellence, and integrity at the heart of its activities.”
