PasarPolis, one of Indonesia’s first full-stack insurtechs, has brought on Peter Van Zyl as its president. Van Zyl is former director and CEO of Allianz Indonesia, one of the country’s biggest insurers.
Through a strategic partnership with Tap Insure, PasarPolis is able to underwrite and distribute its own insurance products to clients like Tokopedia, Gojek and Traveloka. Van Zyl will oversee PasarPolis’ strategy as a full-stack insurer.
In addition to seven years as director and CEO of Allianz Indonesia, Van Zyl spent 15 years in senior roles at AIG. He told TechCrunch that he decided to make the move from a well-established player like Allianz Indonesia to startup life because of the potential he sees in digital insurance solutions reaching a broader population in Indonesia.
