Sabia Schwarzer

Head of Communications North America
Allianz
@sabiaschwarzer
Germany


Sabia Schwarzer is viewed as one of the best of a new breed of German communicators, challenging a PR landscape that is often typified by a reluctance to take risks. She took on the top communications job at Allianz in 2015, after spending two decades with the insurance giant, in a variety of senior marketing and communications roles across the world. Schwarzer had big shoes to fill at Allianz, succeeding 23-year corporate comms head Emilio Galli Zugaro, but sevit seems clear that she has what it takes to usher in change across the company and even, more broadly, the communications industry.
