Allianz Global Corporate & Speciality (AGCS) has promoted Brian Kirwan, regional unit London head of market management and communications, to CEO of its UK business.
Kirwan will report directly to Carsten Scheffel, chief regions and markets officer and member of the board of management, from 1 October.
He joined the AGCS team in 2011 and had previously held various executive positions within the Allianz Risk Transfer division.
The promotion follows the decision to expand the roles of AGCS board members and ensures continued effective management in the UK. Kirwan will also retain his regional responsibility for market management and communications.
Scheffel said: “I am very pleased to see Kirwan progress into this role. With his strong background in the market management and his strategic experience, he is the ideal person to drive AGCS UK forward.”
“He will continue to strengthen the position of AGCS as a leading insurer and raise our profile. I am very much looking forward to continue to working with him and wish him every success.”
