Florian is a Transaction Diligence Partner at EY Strategy & Transactions GmbH and serves as the Insurance Sector Leader for EY-Parthenon in Europe West. He supports insurers, intermediaries, investors and technology‑driven market entrants in navigating strategic and transaction‑related inflection points across the insurance value chain.
He brings more than two decades of experience in the insurance industry, advising insurers, private equity firms, brokers, managing general agents (MGA), independent financial advisers (IFA), and InsurTech/FinTech companies on buy‑ and sell‑side due diligence, carve‑outs, value creation and portfolio strategy. His work focuses on transactions, consolidation and roll‑up themes, and the evolving intermediary landscape.
Florian began his career at a German mid‑cap insurer, gaining hands‑on experience across several functions and building deep industry insight. He later moved into advisory, focusing on transaction‑related services for insurance clients, and joined the global EY organization in 2011.
He holds degrees from ESB Reutlingen and Goethe University Frankfurt.
How Florian is shaping the future with confidence
“Insurance markets are being reshaped by consolidation, shifting value pools and rising expectations for data‑driven decision‑making. My role is to help clients translate this complexity into clarity — especially in deal‑driven environments where strategic timing, rigorous analysis and execution discipline make all the difference.
I work closely with insurers, intermediaries and investors as they navigate acquisitions, integrations including value creation and operating‑model transformations. Whether the challenge is insurer and broker consolidation, MGA expansion, portfolio repositioning or strategic due diligence, my task is to help clients build resilient, scalable and sustainable business models.
Shaping the future with confidence means making decisions based on insight, not instinct — and facilitating that every transaction contributes to long‑term value for clients, their people and the broader insurance ecosystem.”
