Pia leads BCG's global insurance practice and serves on the firm's Executive Committee. She has worked internationally for almost two decades across three continents and out of BCG's offices in Chicago, London, and Zurich.
She has been working with management teams of large international and local insurers, brokers, reinsurers, and regulators. For many years, she has been the firm’s global leader for the commercial insurance and reinsurance sector.

Pia has advised numerous worldwide financial services clients on a broad range of strategic questions, including market opportunity assessment, digital/industry disruption, cost reduction, risk and performance management, portfolio reviews, post-merger integration, and divestiture. Moreover, she has led project teams on topics such as customer centricity, UW excellence, advanced data analytics, client retention, and loyalty improvement programs.
Pia also leads BCG’s regional Remuneration and Officer Development Committee. Before joining the firm, she worked as a financial analyst in investment banking and as a research assistant.
