Commercial insurer QBE has appointed Andrea Marega to the newly created role of European product manager for professional indemnity, as part of changes to its underwriting operating model.
Andrea joins from Allianz Commercial where he was senior global financial lines (FL) underwriter in Munich, Germany. He moved back to Milan, Italy, to take up his new role from 20 January.
He started his insurance career with AIG as a financial lines underwriter in 2000 in Milan. In 2002, he joined ACE (now Chubb) as Financial Lines manager for Italy and later for Southern Europe before becoming professional indemnity (PI) manager for EMEA. In 2019, he joined Allianz Commercial’s chief underwriting office.
In his new position, Andrea will help shape and develop QBE’s European PI portfolio. He will report to Naintara Agarwal, Europe director of underwriting and portfolio management, who said: “With Andrea on board, we are looking to further our reach in the Professional Indemnity practice across Europe. Andrea has an impressive track record in PI and his cross-country European experience will help us to enhance our service to our customers and brokers while improving QBE’s presence in this important portfolio. He’s a great addition to the team and I am thrilled to have him on board.”
