Allianz Commercial appoints Nguyen-Huu as Global Head of Portfolio Solutions

Allianz Commercial, part of global insurer Allianz, has appointed Doan Nguyen-Huu as Global Head of Portfolio Solutions, effective August 1st, 2025, and Daniel Head as Head of Portfolio Solutions and Delegated Authority, UK Global and International markets, from September 1st, 2025.

The two appointments are in the firm’s Portfolio Solutions unit, which focuses on strategic relationships with Managing General Agents (MGAs), facilities, programmes, and other delegated underwriting authority partners.

Nguyen-Huu will succeed Claudia Valencia Lascar, who leaves the company on September 30th, 2025. Meanwhile, Head’s role mirrors the appointment of Julie Gibbs, who was named as Head of Portfolio Solutions & Delegated Authority for North America in March 2025.

Following recent restructuring, Allianz Commercial now has three global leaders in place, focusing on three key customer segments across its portfolio. Elke Vagenende for clients, Tom Leonard for brokers, and Doan Nguyen-Huu for Portfolio Solutions, supported by global and local distribution teams.

Since January 2024, Nguyen-Huu has been the Head of Specialty, Regional Unit London. In her new role, she will lead the Portfolio Solutions team out of London, reporting to Vanessa Maxwell, Chief Underwriting Officer at Allianz Commercial.

Nguyen-Huu joined Allianz in 2013, having previously worked in claims roles in other companies. Since then, she has worked in various verticals like different claims, underwriting, transformation, and leadership positions in London and Munich, including Head of the Chief Executive Officer’s Office.

Most recently, Head served at RSA as Head of Partnerships. He has over 18 years’ experience in underwriting and claims at RSA, with the last 10 years focused on managing delegated authority business. He will also be based in London, reporting to Doan.

Maxwell commented, “Portfolio Solutions is an important and fast-growing segment in our business. Partnerships with MGAs and other delegated authority holders allow us to serve a wider range of customers across a variety of specialist products, making full use of Allianz’s capabilities and underwriting portfolio.

I am delighted that Doan is leading our strategy here, and I welcome Daniel on board as we further develop our business in this segment.”
