Founding team behind Lyfery
Mihkel Mandre
Mihkel has been in the life insurance industry for more than 25 years, driving business strategy, innovation, and building cross-border teams at Swedbank Life Insurance. Hailing from the most digitally advanced society in the world, and having renewed the product portfolio, transformed the sales and after service of life insurance entirely to digital channels while launching a successful tele-underwriting concept in the Baltics, Mihkel became determined to revamp the industry on a broader scale and take advantage of the technological revolution across Europe. He believes that true innovation lies in connecting different industries . Life insurance, which has a longer history than Christianity, can make a difference in our lives and to the environment as well. Mihkel is convinced that, when people are provided with the tools to live a healthier life, along with full insight and understanding of the influence their behavior has on their lives and on society in general, they grasp the true essence of life insurance. There is only one life and one planet. Feel free to get in touch if my vision attracted your attention.
Madis Tapupere

Veikko Tamlak
Veikko has worked as insurance mathematician for 30 years. He started in Estonian Insurance as First Actuary when the profession was virtually unknown in freshly independent Estonia. He later led the development of first truly successful insurance products in Hansabank Insurance. Several models and systems created by Veikko are still successfully being used by former employers. Lifestyle based underwriting has been his interest ever since gender based pricing was prohibited by EU regulations.

Piret has led Marketing and Communications efforts at many outstanding banking industry brands like Swedbank and Nordea. She also drove Estonia’s country brand project which was launched in 2017 and, after that, was in charge of global Marcom for the e-Residency program. She is a true believer in technology and knows that all aspects of our lives should become more enjoyable and easier due to the technological revolution. She is grateful for the opportunity to now also make this change happen in the life insurance industry and to finally be able to make an even bigger impact as an advisor, which means not only taking care of the visible part of the iceberg that is a business – the brand. Her mission is to make it possible to track and measure how our behaviour influences the health of planet Earth, besides that of our own.
