Allianz reveals new SME leader following departure

UK-based Allianz Insurance, part of the Allianz Group, has appointed Helen Bryant to the role of director of SME (small and medium-sized businesses) and corporate partnerships.

Bryant replaces David Martin who is leaving the business to take up a role with another insurer.

In her new role, Bryant will be responsible for the trading and development of Allianz’s small business account, its commercial digital trading capabilities and managing corporate partnerships.

“Helen brings to her new role a wealth of experience from within Allianz as well as exceptional business and leadership skills," said Simon McGinn, general manager commercial & personal, Allianz Insurance. "I am delighted that she will be able to build on the strong and successful business model that we have in this area."

“Helen is well regarded amongst brokers, with a clear focus on achieving positive outcomes for customers. She has an extremely impressive track record at Allianz and will, I am sure, bring clear delivery focus and strategic insight into her new area of responsibility,” McGinn added.
