Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty appoints crisis management expert to boost global Liability team

Christof has 20 years’ experience in the global insurance sector having worked in Germany, Dubai and the UK for both international insurers and brokers. In his previous roles, he has held senior board level positions at two major brokers where he was responsible for developing and coordinating the crisis management strategies for both clients and third party producers. His areas of expertise include terrorism, political risk, product recall & contamination.

Michael Hohmann, AGCS Global Head of Liability said: “This is the first time AGCS has recruited an expert solely focused on this area. Christof is one of the top crisis management experts in the industry and has worked in all elements of the sector – broker, insurer, reinsurer, client – so he can give a 360 degree analysis for our global network. The changing geo-political situation creates new risks and threats for our clients affecting their businesses, their assets and people. Whether that is the ever expanding supply chain or the growing threat of terrorism or political violence  they all have one thing in common: Our clients have to deal with issues outside their comfort zone. We therefore feel that it is the right time for AGCS to invest in supporting our clients with bespoke solutions in the area of crisis management making full use with Allianz’ extensive network and global reach.”
