7 Questions with Andreas Franke, Loanboox GmbH
- Please tell us a bit about yourself, both at work and leisure.
As managing director of Loanboox GmbH, I am responsible for running operations in the German market. Previously I worked in the internal consulting department of Zurich Insurance Group. During this time, I had the opportunity to get experience in the areas of finance, business transformation and operational improvements in various countries. Among others, I have worked in Switzerland, Russia, the United States and Brazil. At the time, it was the perfect opportunity to combine my private enthusiasm for traveling with my job. That is also the case today at Loanboox. I am traveling constantly to meet clients and I work in close interactions with my colleagues in the 4 European countries where Loanboox is active today.
