Munich Association appoints Dr. Patrick Ring as its new Chief of Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
In a significant move towards digital innovation, the Munich Association has established a new department called Data Analytics & AI, with Dr. Patrick Ring appointed as its head. This department, an in-house centre of competence for data and artificial intelligence, is set to shape the data-driven transformation of the company.
Dr. Ring, an experienced expert in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis, started his new role at the Munich Association on July 1, 2025. His primary focus is on creating a measurable added value for the company and developing concrete use cases.
COO Sebastian Hartmann is looking forward to the added value of the Data Analytics & AI team at the Munich Association. Dr. Ring was attracted to the Munich Association due to the opportunity to build a new team and set sustainable impulses in an innovative environment.
Before joining the Munich Association, Dr. Ring held a leading position at ARAG Krankenversicherungs-AG in the area of analytics and AI. His experience in the field, as well as his ability to build new teams and set sustainable impulses, were key factors in his appointment.
The strategic goal of the Data Analytics & AI department under Dr. Ring's leadership is to drive a domain-based AI transformation that delivers scalable, sustainable business impact. This involves moving beyond isolated AI use cases to implement end-to-end transformation of multiple operational areas.
Key elements of this strategy include developing a business-led roadmap for AI transformation, building a flexible AI capabilities stack, using AI to enhance core insurance functions, collaborating with external experts, and ensuring professional oversight and governance in AI model deployment.
Dr. Ring's goal is always to work in close cooperation with the specialist departments at the Munich Association. The Munich Association Insurance Group is committed to taking a leading role in the digital transformation of the insurance industry, and the creation of the Data Analytics & AI department is a clear milestone in this digital agenda.
The Munich Association's pursuit of digital innovation has been confirmed with the establishment of the Data Analytics & AI department. Dr. Ring looks forward to developing and implementing sustainable solutions together with colleagues from all areas of the Munich Association.
One example of the innovative power of the company is the Munich Association's digital assistant 'MV Schorsch'. Dr. Ring aims to build upon this with his team, positioning Munich Re as a dominant, innovation-driven leader in insurance by leveraging proprietary data and AI to transform workflows, improve risk transfer solutions, and deliver measurable value across the insurance value chain.
