AGCS Africa welcomes new claims manager
AGCS Africa appointed Heleen Ferguson as Claims Manager effective December 1, 2017. Previously with AIG as a Commercial Claims Manager, she started her insurance career at Mutual & Federal (now Old Mutual Insure) in 1998. Heleen is an expert in Financial Lines and Casualty and believes that she can contribute immensely to the business.
“I am a claims person at heart and I’m very passionate about service. I believe that Allianz will be an excellent fit for me, and for my skills. The kind of business that Allianz writes appeals to my individual strength and I believe that the company’s ethos suits my own. Globally, Allianz is an excellent employer and I am very excited to be a part of it,” says Heleen.
“I’d like to warmly welcome Heleen to AGCS Africa and look forward to her contribution as we move towards our vision of being a benchmark corporate and specialty insurer in Africa by 2020. She brings close to 20 years of insurance experience, which will enable her to lead our claims service and expertise in Africa. A claim is the defining moment for our service and it’s great to know that Heleen is as committed to service as much as we are,” says AGCS Africa CEO Thusang Mahlangu.
Born and bred in Mokopane, Limpopo, she moved to Johannesburg to study B. Com Law at Rand Afrikaans University, now called University of Johannesburg. She is happily married and blessed with two children, aged 17 and 14. She also loves to read and bake, and spends a lot of time next to the hockey and rugby fields supporting her children.
