Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty appoints North American Aviation Underwriting specialist

“As we continue to grow our aviation business, it’s imperative we grow our team as well,” said James Van Meter, Aviation Practice Leader in the United States. “Adding someone with the talent and caliber of Joshua exemplifies our strong commitment to employ the very best underwriters in the industry.”

Before joining Allianz in July, Jeter spent almost six years with Ironshore Insurance Services as an Assistant Manager of Aviation & Reinsurance. In this role, reporting directly to the Global Head of Reinsurance, he worked to protect Ironshore’s global platform with external reinsurance. Jeter also was responsible for maintaining relationships with aviation managing general agents. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Mississippi, majoring in Risk Management & Insurance.

In 2006, Jeter joined the Air National Guard as an Aerospace Maintenance Technician in Mississippi. He spent nine years as a crew member for both the Alabama and Mississippi Air National Guard before being promoted to First Sergeant in the Alabama Air National Guard two years ago.

“We are very excited to add Josh to our team,” added Van Meter. “We believe his depth of knowledge and experience will help provide our brokers and clients with the world class service they deserve.”
