Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty appoints NA head of aviation
Allianz Group’s specialist corporate insurer Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) has named David Warfel as head of aviation, North America.
Based in New York, Warfel was previously head of major risks for aviation at Allianz for more than five years. He takes over responsibility from Mike Hansen, who was promoted to global head of aviation earlier this year.
In his new role, Warfel is charged with leading the aviation business in the region, developing and executing on the regional strategy as well as supporting the global ‘One Aviation’ approach. He will report directly to John Barnwell, regional head of specialty lines, North America, with a matrix reporting line to Hansen.
"Ensuring we are the industry leader in all things from customer service to product excellence has always been our number one priority," said Hansen. "Dave’s experience and long-standing relationships in the market only solidify our commitment to this cause."
Warfel has nearly two decades of aviation insurance experience with a background in general aviation, product liability and airline underwriting. He has been with AGCS since 2008.
"For almost ten years, Dave has been an integral part of the growth in our aviation business," added Barnwell. "His commitment to our clients and brokers, as well as his ability to create customer solutions will keep us ahead of the industry standard."
