Allianz Group’s specialist corporate insurer Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE (AGCS) has announced that Sinéad Browne will assume the role of AGCS UK CEO in addition to her responsibilities as chief regions and markets officer, subject to regulatory approval. Tracey Hunt has been appointed deputy CEO for AGCS UK.
Both appointments will take effect from Jan. 1, 2019. Current AGCS UK CEO, Brian Kirwan will leave at the end of 2018.
Browne joined the AGCS Board in 2012 as chief operating officer, before moving to her current chief regions and markets officer role earlier in 2018. Originally joining Allianz Group in 1993, she has since held progressively senior roles in underwriting, organizational and strategy development and operations at Allianz Ireland, Allianz SE and Allianz Re.
Hunt joined AGCS in September 2012 as head of Growth Markets, Energy. She has held her current regional head of Energy role since January 2015. As deputy CEO, Hunt will report directly to Browne. Hunt will have oversight across all lines of AGCS’ lines of business, as well as overseeing key client and broker relationships in the UK. She will retain her current responsibilities as regional head of Energy for Regional Unit London going forward.
“Under Brian’s leadership AGCS UK is positioned strongly for the future. I would like to thank Brian for his contributions and we at AGCS wish him the very best for the future,” commented Browne.
“I’m very pleased to welcome Tracey to the position of Deputy CEO for the UK. With over 20 years’ working in insurance, her wide-ranging market experience across underwriting, broking, claims and consultancy is an ideal fit for the role,” she added. “We will work closely together in partnership with clients and brokers to drive the business forward and continue to deliver innovative solutions to help our customers navigate the complex world of current and emerging business risks.”
