HDI Global, the corporate and specialty insurance company of Talanx Group, has announced the appointment of Kai Schulte-Schrepping as its new global head of liability risk, effective July 1.
The move is part of an internal leadership transition that will continue to focus on strengthening the global liability portfolio and U.S. markets.
HDI Global confirms that Schulte-Schrepping will succeed Daniel Maurer, who will phase out his current leadership responsibilities upon his upcoming retirement, but will remain within the organization in a new role.
With more than a decade of experience at the company, Schulte-Schrepping brings strong underwriting technology expertise and leadership experience in complex global liability businesses.
In his new role, he will have overall responsibility for the Global Liability Global Ventures portfolio and report to Dr. Mukadder Erdönmez, HDI Global’s Executive Committee Member responsible for Liability, Cyber, Automotive and US Markets.
Maurer joined HDI Global in 2021, and HDI Global credits him with playing a key role in developing its liability global risk strategy, expanding its portfolio and enhancing market services. He will continue to serve in HDI Global’s US market management role, reporting to Dr. Erdönmez.
Schulte-Schrepping commented: “I am honored to take over as Head of Responsible Global Risk and build on the strong foundation our team has built over the past few years under Daniel’s leadership. I look forward to taking on the challenge of following in Daniel’s footsteps and further building our portfolio and market position.”
Dr. Mukadder Erdönmez said: “Kai’s promotion is a strong signal of our deep talent pipeline, continuity and future ambitions in responsible global risk. I am delighted to be working with him on this next step and wish him every success as we continue to strengthen our global market position and become the preferred partner for the transformation of our clients and brokers.”
Dr. Erdönmez added: “Dani has been instrumental in building our Liability Global Risks organization and portfolio over the past five years. His dedication, expertise and leadership have shaped HDI’s success and strong market reputation in the complex liability risk space. I am very grateful for his contributions and particularly pleased that Daniel will remain at HDI Global and use his expertise to help expand our business in the United States.”
Maurer said: “Leading Liability Global Risk has been a truly rewarding chapter in my career. I am proud of what we have built together and grateful to the many colleagues who have made it all possible. I look forward to staying at HDI Global and contributing my experience to the further development of our US market activities.”
