What I'm looking for

I’m interested in how alternative capital, new risk transfer mechanisms and technology can address increasingly complex challenges in the insurance industry.

At Allianz Reinsurance, I design and implement Alternative Capital solutions, including catastrophe bonds and sidecars. I bring together Underwriting, Legal, Finance and external stakeholders to deliver Strategic Risk Transfer transactions.

I’m the project lead responsible for implementing the Allianz–Oaktree strategic partnership within the Lloyd’s market. My work focuses on structures that support capital management and business objectives.

Previously at Allianz Reinsurance, I was responsible for Cyber Reinsurance, Group Per Risk & Clash (Man-Made) programmes and Alternative Capital initiatives. I was also part of the team responsible for Group Natural Catastrophe reinsurance placements.

My experience spans reinsurance purchasing, Lloyd’s market structures and Insurance-Linked Securities. I’m particularly interested in how alternative capital, new risk transfer mechanisms and technology are evolving the insurance industry.
