With more than 4,000 employees and a profit of CHF 439.5 million in 2016, La Mobilière is an outstanding enterprise, proud of its uniquely Swiss success story and 192 years of history.

One of the most progressive CEOs in the insurance industry in Western Europe and a respected figure in both commercial and political circles, Mr. Hongler will share his ground-breaking vision and strategy for the future of the insurance business with EU Business School students during this exciting event.

With regards to the event, Dr. Dirk Craen, president of EU Business School said, “we are honored that Mr. Hongler has agreed to take time out from his busy schedule to join us. He will be sharing with our students the challenges of the insurance industry, and insights into how La Mobilière is tackling them. We are excited that our students will have this opportunity to learn from one of Switzerland’s most highly-regarded CEOs.”

Students from all EU campuses, faculty and guests are invited to this event.
