Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) is targeting growth in its Delegated Authority, Portfolio & Facility business by establishing a new market-facing team, based in London.
AGCS launched a dedicated team “Delegated Authority, Portfolio & Facilities Management” to be led by Anna Sampson who has been appointed Delegated Authority and Portfolio Solutions Manager.
Effective immediately, she will be reporting to Nadia Côté, Managing Director, Regional Unit London (RUL) & Nordics at AGCS.
Sampson has over 15 years of industry experience gained at a number of insurers in increasingly senior roles. She joined Allianz in 2021 as Delegated Underwriting Manager in the RUL & Nordics Financial Lines team.
In her new role she will lead a team of three and be responsible for expanding and diversifying the portfolio of Delegated Authority and Facilities business for AGCS – Allianz’s entity for large-scale corporate and specialty risks.
Figures produced by The International Underwriting Association (IUA) show £4.8 billion was underwritten via delegated authority arrangements in 2021.
Nadia Côté, Managing Director, Regional Unit London & Nordics, AGCS, commented: “With the creation of this new team, under Anna’s leadership, we are well placed to capture new business in this segment of corporate insurance beyond our current portfolio. This ambition is very much in line with our overall market leadership aspirations for AGCS in London and globally.”
