Aug22136 13. Claims Management CEO of the Year 2026: Tobias Walter & Best Loss Adjusting Services Company 2026 The world’s leading risk and claims administration partner, Sedgwick employs more than 33,000 colleagues and supports 10,000 clients across 80 countries. In Germany, the company has earned a strong reputation for its loss adjusting and claims management expertise, supporting insurers, brokers, and corporate clients with a broad range of services. As Sedgwick Germany is recognised as the Best Loss Adjusting Services Company 2026 and CEO Tobias Walter receives a leadership award, we take a closer look at the business and the people behind its success. For more than 40 years, Sedgwick Germany has delivered claims management solutions and loss adjusting services to insurers, brokers, and organisations across Germany and internationally. Its full-service approach is supported by a robust IT suite that helps ensure efficient claims processes. According to Tobias Walter, what sets Sedgwick Germany apart is the combination of local expertise and the scale of a global organisation. The result is a consistent service model across claims and industries. Clients value Sedgwick Germany’s ability to manage their entire portfolio, from desktop claims handling to complex losses worth millions of euros. Across all cases, the company is guided by its commitment to making a positive difference for clients. This extends beyond handling losses, with tailored processes designed to support clients and their customers. The objective is to simplify complexity while helping to achieve positive outcomes for stakeholders. The consistent, proven approach Sedgwick Germany takes pride in delivering is built around its people, processes, and technology. Tobias explained: “This combination of experts, structured processes, and advanced technology enables us to deliver reliable, scalable, and compliant services across all claim types. It positions Sedgwick as a trusted insurance claims partner in an increasingly complex and regulated environment.” Today, an outstanding claims experience is defined by the combination of expert human judgement, speed, transparency, and realtime data availability. Sedgwick Germany aims to deliver across all these areas through its expertise, processes, and technology. With the market evolving at a faster pace than Tobias has experienced throughout his more than 25 years in the industry, he believes this combination is valued more than ever by clients and their customers. The company’s platform approach also enables it to scale efficiently, introduce new services, and respond quickly to changing client requirements while leveraging the latest technologies. Detailing Sedgwick Germany’s business strategy, Tobias told us of the three pillars it is built on: people, partnerships, and a long-term view of the market. There is simply nobody else in Germany capable of supporting large corporate clients with loss adjusting services and claims management solutions proven on a global scale. The fact that Sedgwick operates in more than 80 countries, across numerous languages and currencies, while utilising a single claims management platform, provides a unique data advantage. Recognition for its loss adjusting capabilities is particularly significant for Sedgwick Germany. Historically, this area has been more strongly associated with some of Sedgwick’s larger international markets, such as the UK. The award reflects Sedgwick Germany’s expanded loss adjusting capabilities over the past five years, as well as the expertise and commitment of the team behind it. Tobias added: “It is a strong validation of the journey we have taken as an organisation.” However, Sedgwick Germany is not the only one being recognised within these pages, as Tobias has also been named Claims Management CEO of the Year 2026. After more than two decades in the insurance and claims industry and a period of significant growth in Germany, Tobias remains characteristically humble about the recognition. Despite featuring in our German CEO Excellence Awards for the second consecutive year, he is quick to credit his team, clients, and partners for the company’s success: “Without them, no one would even know me.” “For me, this award is a reflection of collective success rather than an individual achievement.” Tobias’ ethos reflects the culture at Sedgwick Germany, built on empowerment, accountability, and trust. Being named a top company by kununu for the third consecutive year highlights this focus, and Tobias is keen to build on that momentum by delivering speed, transparency, and innovation for clients. Lastly, Tobias spoke of his pride in leading a business built on talented and dedicated individuals: “Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and they are the reason why clients trust us in critical moments. This combination of expertise, commitment, and care is what truly defines Sedgwick Germany.” Contact: Tobias Walter Company: Sedgwick Germany GmbH Web Address: www.sedgwick.com/europe/germany/
