From October 1, 2026, Zubor Tibor will assume the role of CEO of Uniqa Biztosító Zrt., succeeding the current chief executive, Kurtisz Krisztián. According to the insurer, Kurtisz will move to a new position within Uniqa’s Austrian parent company, where he will support the group’s international digital and artificial intelligence strategy and contribute to preparing and implementing related programs.
Professional background of Zubor Tibor
Zubor Tibor joined Uniqa in August 2021 as a board member responsible for the corporate and bancassurance business. He brings roughly 22 years of experience in the insurance sector: he began his career in October 2004 and spent nearly 17 years at a market-leading Hungarian insurer, holding various roles that covered broker sales and corporate lines.
At Uniqa, Zubor concentrated on developing non-life insurance areas and transforming sales and operational models. The company states that his initiatives achieved notable successes that helped strengthen Uniqa’s market position in Hungary.
Kurtisz Krisztián’s new role and achievements
As of October 1, 2026, Kurtisz Krisztián will continue his career at Uniqa’s Austrian parent company. His responsibilities will include shaping the group-level artificial intelligence strategy and leading the preparation and implementation of the associated programs at an international level.
Uniqa highlights that under Kurtisz’s leadership the Hungarian unit was the first in Europe to deploy an AI-based claims solution that supports policyholders 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Why this matters
The management change has both operational and strategic implications: Zubor is expected to continue advancing sales and operational transformation efforts that aim to bolster Uniqa’s domestic market position, while Kurtisz will focus on strengthening the group’s digital and AI initiatives across markets. The transition takes effect on October 1, 2026.
