Munich Re appoints marine CEO

Munich Re has centralised responsibility for its marine business and appointed John Wilkinson as chief executive of Munich Re’s Global Marine Partnership.

The appointment was effective on July 1, 2014.

Wilkinson joined Munich Re in 2000. He began his career in the City of London with the broker Willis Faber & Dumas, before moving to Allianz. With them he spent several years in Munich, Singapore and Australia.

From 2001 until 2009 he was responsible for Munich Re’s Greater China non-life business based in Munich. In 2009 he moved to Hong Kong and was appointed chief executive for Greater China and chief executive officer of Munich Re´s Hong Kong branch.

“The bundling of this business is intended to further enhance underwriting quality, service for clients worldwide and product development,” said Wilkinson. “This is especially important in a market which is extremely competitive.”
