Over the past two years, Schulte has built up the Technical & Strategic Services division, enhancing underwriting and fostering a hub for expertise exchange across various areas. 

Schulte said: “I am excitedly looking forward to my future work in the Marine community, the further development of the division strategy and a continuation of the successful growth of business, especially outside Europe.” 

With more than 20 years of experience in corporate insurance, Schlei latterly managed the NatCat division within Technical & Strategic Services, where he improved the company’s management of natural hazard risks.  

Schlei commented: “Building on my experience from my previous work in NatCat, I can’t wait to work with the team to further expand the steering capability in Short Tail and drive forward technical excellence in all its areas.”
