Meanwhile, ex-Allianz Versicherungs-AG management board member Dirk Vogler has been named Chief MidCorp Transformation Officer. 

One commercial lead will represent the Allianz Commercial businesses in each country or region. 

Mueller stated: “Allianz Commercial is the result of market feedback encouraging us to combine the best of AGCS with the best of local Allianz businesses to serve more clients around the world.

“The result will be simplicity, clarity and consistency for our customers, where we serve them with a wider range of products – from Allianz Multinational to climate solutions – in a seamless approach that preserves the trusted relationships and local know-how they value.”

Allianz said that the new move expands its offering and delivery at the local level and helps plug internal structural loopholes in market reach.

It is said to anticipate rising globalisation of risks.
