Allianz's AGCS reveals new global risk consulting leader

Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), the corporate insurance carrier of Allianz Group, has appointed Thierry Portevin to lead its global risk consulting unit succeeding Tina Baacke who left the company at the end of 2020.

Portevin currently serves as the global head of property at AGCS. He will be appointed global head of Allianz Risk Consulting (ARC), effective from March 8.

Meanwhile, Elizaveta Krieg will lead the global property underwriting team, until a permanent successor is confirmed. Krieg is currently the global practice group leader for base Industries in the property team, based in Munich, Germany.

AGCS' chief underwriting officer corporate Tony Buckle said: “The ARC team are absolutely central to both exposure assessment in underwriting as well as risk mitigation for our clients. I am therefore delighted that one of our most experienced underwriters and managers, Thierry Portevin, who has successfully led our Property and Engineering teams in the past, has taken on the opportunity of leading Allianz Risk Consulting into the future.

"ARC will benefit from his commercial understanding, underwriting perspectives and his data focus. As we leverage third party data and Insurtech in our core business, Thierry will ensure we adapt to the new risks our clients are facing and continue to offer market-leading solutions.”
