Clear-sighted Indonesian insurance leader Dony Sinanda Putra drives growth

Ask ANZIIF Fellow Dony Sinanda Putra about his role, and he’ll describe himself as a Swiss army knife.

“I apply my skills and experience wherever needed, be it in underwriting, product and business development, data analytics, strategic planning, or even the relatively unknown area of Sharia Insurance,” says Sinanda Putra, who is a General Manager at Allianz Utama Indonesia.

Sinanda Putra’s career path in insurance has been unique, especially within Indonesia’s general insurance landscape, where many see insurance as a last-resort career.

After a university class on risk and insurance management ignited his interest, he decided to focus on insurance.

“The history of insurance fascinated me. It began as a basic mechanism to help people facing unfortunate events, and I see it as a noble industry.”
