Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) has announced the appointment of Jarrod Schlesinger (pictured above) as regional head of financial lines for North America, effective February 13.
In his new role, Schlesinger will be based in New York. He will report to Bill Scaldaferri, President and CEO of AGCS North America, with a parent line reporting to Vanessa Maxwell, Global Head of Finance Lines. Schlesinger succeeds Joseph Caruso, who has left the company.
Schelsinger joins AGCS from Chubb, where he most recently served as director of operations for North American financial lines.

“Jarrod has a stellar track record in the financial lines arena and is highly respected for his product strategy and market knowledge, which are critical to growing our North American portfolio,” said Scaldaferri. “I have no doubt that he will be a phenomenal team leader, ready to take our business to the next level, particularly in the large corporate category.”
Schelsinger is the latest AGCS appointment. In December, the company named Gabrielle Durisch global head of ESG and sustainability solutions. In November, he promoted Martin Zschech to the newly created position of Global Head of Industry Solutions and Customer Management.
