AGCS appoints new Dubai CEO

Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) has appointed Willem van Wyk as CEO for Dubai.

As CEO, van Wyk will report to Carsten Scheffel, member of the board of management and chief regions and markets officer.

He started at AGCS as the head of market management Australia in 2008 and prior to that, he was head of business development for a global broker in Dubai.

AGCS’s Dubai office covers a range of business including property, liability, financial lines, engineering, energy and marine.

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been identified as a significant strategic segment for AGCS. The company plans continued growth, in line with its strategy of global diversification.

Scheffel commented: “We are very pleased to see van Wyk assume this new role, bringing a lot of experience and expertise in a growth market for AGCS.”

“He has developed our Australian business in recent years with great success. We have identified substantial potential for growth in MENA and I’m convinced that his leadership skills will help him succeed in this position."
