Insurance People Moves: Tokio Marine, Allianz, and AXA
Tokio Marine HCC International
Part of the larger Tokio Marine Group umbrella, Tokio Marine HCC International has added three new names to its London-based Professional Risks team.
“The breadth and depth of knowledge they have gained over the years means that they will all play an important role in enhancing our Professional Indemnity, Liability and Packaged Product offerings to our broker panel and clients across the United Kingdom,” commented Tony Browne, Managing Director at Tokio Marine.
Allianz
Allianz continues to add fresh talent, this time in the auto insurance sector: Ian Kershaw has become the firm’s new Head of Motor Claims.
In addition to a BSc in Management Science from University of Manchester (1993), Kershaw is also a qualified solicitor having passed the Common Professional Examination and a Legal Practice Course at The Manchester Metropolitan University.
He joins Allianz from Co-op Insurance, where he was Head of Claims and previously also Head of Injury and Third-Party Claims. Prior to his five-year stint at the Co-op, Kershaw spent 15 years at Parabis Group.
“I am delighted to be joining Allianz Insurance at this exciting time, as changing regulations and car technology mean motor claims are evolving rapidly,” he said. “With customer and broker expectations continuing to grow, Allianz is an organisation that is continually investing in its colleagues and technology to provide a market-leading customer journey.”
AXA XL
Leading global P&C provider AXA XL has appointed Marine Ress to the role of Chief Underwriting Officer, Casualty, in its Paris office, effective 1 October 2021. She first joined AXA in 2011.
In her new position, Ress will utilise her 20 years of insurance sector experience to oversee the company’s casualty portfolio and determine underwriting strategies for General Liability, Motor and Environmental insurance in Europe and APAC.
Etienne Champion, Chief Underwriting Officer, APAC & Europe, commented, “I am delighted to have Marine join the APAC & Europe underwriting function. Her extensive experience in liability insurance, both as a broker and an underwriting leader, makes her an ideal candidate to head our Casualty business in Europe and Asia-Pacific.”
