She became director of the European Region for Mondial Assistance Group in 2000, and a member of its executive committee in 2002.

Before joining Allianz Worldwide Partners' executive committee in January 2014, responsible for strategy, innovation and market management, Luka-Lognoné was CEO for Europe, Middle East and Africa within Allianz Global Assistance.

Luka-Lognoné said: "Having worked in the insurance industry for almost 25 years, I understand the dynamic evolution of this sector and I find that hugely motivating and exciting. In just 15 years Allianz Worldwide Care has grown from a greenfield start-up to become the market leader in international health insurance, with a consistent record of robust growth and a GWP of €1.1 billion in 2014. This level of expansion is due to Allianz Worldwide Care's client driven focus, offering a growing range of products, services and digital innovation."
