Allianz AGCS regional head of claims quits; replacement revealed
Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), Allianz group’s specialist corporate insurer, has appointed a new leader of its claims services business across the UK, Ireland, and Nordics.
Tom Major (pictured) will serve as regional head of claims for regional unit London and Nordics, starting June. He succeeds Lars Vissing who has left for an external opportunity outside the Allianz Group.
Major will remain based in the London office of AGCS, Allianz’s entity for large-scale corporate and specialty risks. He will report to Nadia Côté, who joined as managing director regional unit London and Nordics in May, with an additional reporting line to chief claims officer Thomas Sepp.
Since joining Allianz almost ten years ago, Major has worked in a variety of increasingly senior roles. He joined as a business strategy analyst in the energy and marine teams, before moving into underwriting as a junior underwriter in construction, then underwriter and subsequently senior underwriter. He moved to claims and his current role over two years ago.
Sepp said: “Tom is already well known to many in his current role leading our Property, Energy & Construction Claims team. His experience across the insurance value-chain means he is expertly positioned to lead our Regional Claims team for London and Nordics.”
“This appointment further demonstrates Allianz’s commitment to nurturing and developing our employees, highlights the strength of our internal talent and means we continue to be expertly positioned to support our clients’ needs at the moment of truth when they need us the most. I very much look forward to continuing to work together with Tom in his new role,” he added.
