Allianz announces new appointment as Milliner departs

Allianz has announced LV=’s new general insurance claims director as it confirmed that Martin Milliner will be leaving the insurer.

Milliner took up the role in 2013 and stayed in place when Allianz acquired LV=’s general insurance business.

Allianz said he will be leaving due to finding a new opportunity and would be replaced by Caroline Johnson.

She was most recently the director of technical claims at the insurer, a role she has held for more than two years.

“Caroline Johnson has taken up the claims director role in our personal lines business with immediate effect,” an Allianz spokesperson said.

“Caroline has been with us for over a decade in senior claims roles and she has the experience, drive and leadership skills to develop this fundamental part of our business.

“Caroline replaces Martin Milliner, who has found a new opportunity and has left our business. We thank him for his work and wish him all the best with his new challenge.”

Other move

This came after Allianz announced that Nicola George was replacing Mike Crane as managing director at LV=Broker last week (26 April 2024).

Allianz said the moves came as it makes ”very strong progress on our profitable growth strategy”.

“It is a particularly exciting time as we roll out the strength of the Allianz brand to the personal lines market,” an insurer spokesperson said.

“As part of that strategic focus, we have brought new leadership into two senior roles to help boost and broaden our market presence.

“These changes are part of a wider vision of ongoing work to sharpen and improve the way we operate and innovate.”
