Allied World poaches former QBE head to expand Asia property division

Allied World Global Markets, a subsidiary of Allied World, has appointed Rob Walpole to the position of vice president, property.

Based in Hong Kong, Walpole will report to Carolyn Shreeve, vice president, head of property, Asia Pacific.

Walpole has 16 year of experience in direct and facultative property underwriting, having most recently served as head of property risk at QBE Hong Kong.
He has also held a number of underwriting roles at TransRe, Markel and HCC International.

Michael Garrison, senior vice president, head of insurance, Asia Pacific Group, said: “Rob’s appointment will enable us to accelerate our strategic plans for our property portfolio across Asia Pacific as a whole.

“The focus of his role will be primarily on direct, reinsurance and lead multinational accounts in the Hong Kong and broader North Asia markets but he will also underwrite the wider regional portfolio when necessary. His well-established network and profile in the market will be a key asset to the team.”
