Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) today announced the appointment of Philip Graham as the new Head of Marine for Regional Unit London (RUL) & Nordics and the Global Product Lead - Marine Liability. Joining in April, Philip will lead AGCS’ Marine portfolio and team across the UK, Ireland, and Nordics.
Philip Graham
He will report to Nadia Côté, Managing Director of Regional Unit London and Nordics, and to Global Head of Marine at AGCS, Ulrich Kadow. Philip will be based in the London office of AGCS, Allianz’s entity for large-scale corporate and specialty risks. He succeeds Andrew Whitehouse who is leaving to pursue external opportunities outside the Allianz Group.
With over 30 years of Marine underwriting experience, Philip is well known and highly respected in the market. He joins Allianz from his most recent role as Head of Marine Global at Chaucer Syndicates where he led a team managing all areas of Marine insurance offerings, sat on their steering committees for ESG Underwriting; Product Oversight; and Reinsurance Security – and was recently Chairperson of the IUMI Facts and Figures committee.
His career spans roles in both Paris and London with CIGNA, Ace Group and Chaucer Syndicate at Lloyd’s of London, across a variety of increasingly senior marine underwriting positions, including most recently covering the international company markets with worldwide responsibilities.
Commenting on Philip’s appointment, Nadia Côté, Managing Director, Regional Unit London & Nordics at AGCS said:
“I am delighted Philip is joining AGCS. His extensive experience and breadth of marine underwriting knowledge, coupled with this expert reputation in the market, make him the ideal person to lead our regional Marine portfolio and steer our Marine Liability products globally. Under his leadership the Marine team will continue to help us deliver for our clients and broker partners in this important part of our overall book of business. I very much look forward to him joining the team.”
