“Multinational is a platform we’ve been executing on globally for quite some time. This leadership change promises to continue to drive more connectivity across our business as well as increase our profile with the broker and client community in North America,” said Bill Scaldaferri, President & CEO, AGCS North America.

“With Brian’s appointment, AGCS combines our go to market approach across traditional risk transfer and Captive Fronting solutions in the region for multinational deals. We have a seasoned team in place working with Brian, and I look forward to what we will accomplish together for our clients and broker partners.”

Allianz Multinational serves large and mid-sized companies that need cross-border, multi-location coverage, including both risk transfer programs and captive solutions. At the forefront of the proposition are centrally coordinated global insurance programs that provide locally admitted policies tailored to the client's geographic footprint and specific risk and exposure requirements – all in full compliance with relevant insurance regulations and local laws. With each program, the client benefits from a dedicated team of specialist underwriters, program handlers, claims experts and risk engineers, working together to build the optimal program structure in place to anticipate issues before they arise and to coordinate seamless service delivery for clients.
