Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), the corporate insurance carrier of Allianz Group, has announced the appointment of Gordon Browne as Global Head of Specialty.
Most recently, Browne served as Global Head of Energy & Construction and Head of North America Specialty for AIG.
During his eight years at AIG he also worked as UK Head of Energy & Construction and Global Product Line Executive for Energy and Engineered Risks, before which he held senior leadership roles at both Liberty International Underwriters and global broker Marsh.
Following his new appointment, Browne will join AGCS in New York in April 2023 to lead the underwriting and development of its Specialty business, including Aviation, Energy & Construction, Entertainment, and Marine.
He will report to Chief Underwriting Officer Shanil Williams who oversees all of AGCS’ nine lines of business in the AGCS SE Board of Management.
“I’m delighted to welcome Gordon to our leadership team. Specialty customers are an important part of our client base and, with the launch of Allianz Commercial, the moment is right to invest and develop in this area further,” said Williams.
“Gordon will work with the Specialty leadership team to reinforce our strong position in this segment, as well as ensuring that Specialty plays a significant role in the partnership with Allianz’s national companies as we grow the wider Commercial business.”
