Rich Soja Appointed as Global Head of Marine at Allianz Commercial
Allianz Commercial appointed Rich Soja as Global Head of Marine. Soja, who has been with the company since 2017, will continue to oversee his Regional North America and Inland Marine responsibilities until a successor is confirmed.
Gordon Browne, Global Head of Specialty at Allianz Commercial, expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment, stating, “I am absolutely delighted to have Rich joining the leadership team for this key position. With his extensive knowledge of both our business and the Marine sector, he is perfectly placed to build on the excellent foundations that Ulrich Kadow established with the team and lead our Marine business in the future.”
Soja brings over 35 years of experience in Marine insurance to his new role, having held increasingly senior Marine underwriting roles at Chubb, Aspen Insurance, and Tokio Marine prior to joining Allianz. His predecessor, Ulrich Kadow, in 2023 transitioned to a new role within Allianz Commercial as Global Head of Product Management and Underwriting Transformation. &
