Thierry Portevin named global head of Allianz Risk Consulting

Thierry Portevin has been promoted as global head of Allianz Risk Consulting (ARC), from his current role of global head of property at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS).

Portevin, who will report directly to Tony Buckle, chief underwriting officer corporate, will succeed previous global head of ARC Tina Baacke, who left AGCS at the end of 2020.

On an interim basis, Elizaveta Krieg will lead the global property underwriting team, until a permanent successor is confirmed.

Krieg is currently the global practice group leader for base industries in this team, based in Munich, Germany.

Portevin was previously global head of engineering for AGCS from May 2012 to August 2016.

He joined Allianz France in 2000 as engineering underwriting portfolio manager for France, before joining AGCS as engineering underwriting manager for France in 2007.

Commenting on Portevin promotion, Buckle says: “The ARC team are absolutely central to both exposure assessment in underwriting as well as risk mitigation for our clients. I am therefore delighted that one of our most experienced underwriters and managers, Thierry Portevin, who has successfully led our property and engineering teams in the past, has taken on the opportunity of leading ARC into the future.”

Recently, AGCS hired Kevin Hegel as the new regional head of client services and multinational regional unit London and Nordics.
