A series of senior leadership appointments have been made across the insurance industry.
Kang is set to replace Oskar Buchauer (pictured above, right), who will step down after nearly three decades with the Allianz Group. Buchauer began his career with Allianz AG in 1998, initially leading life and health reinsurance efforts.
Kang previously served as CFO of Allianz Re and has deep technical and operational credentials. Since joining AGCS in 2015, she has held roles spanning actuarial leadership in the Americas, global reinsurance and catastrophe management, and performance steering.
Alliant Insurance Services has named Steve Wolfenberger as vice president in its Employee Benefits Group, with a focus on mid-sized employers across the US West Region.
Wolfenberger brings a background in underwriting, consulting and analytics, and has worked extensively on employee education and communication programmes aimed at improving benefits utilisation.
Novatae Risk Group has appointed Anju Arora (pictured immediately above, left) as vice president of data, business intelligence and innovation. The newly created role positions Arora at the centre of the firm’s efforts to integrate actuarial, underwriting, claims, and technology functions to support long-term profitability.
Risk Placement Services (RPS) has named Adrianna Rivera (pictured immediately above, right) as national personal lines practice leader.
Rivera has been with RPS since 2011 and has played a key role in scaling the firm’s Florida personal lines operations. Under her leadership, the Fort Lauderdale office’s personal lines team grew from a one-person unit into a $20 million book of business. She will continue to be based in Fort Lauderdale and report to Matt Lynch, president of binding at RPS.
