Insurance group PSC has hired a senior executive from Allianz to run the group, which includes broker network PSC Connect.
ASX-listed PSC Insurance Group has appointed David Hosking to the new role of CEO PSC Australia and New Zealand.
Hosking joins after a successful career at Allianz and IAG.
PSC said Hosking “brings a long history and deep understanding of the insurance industry and particularly the insurance broking and intermediary markets”.
PSC said said Hosking’s responsibilities would include the Australian Speciality and Agency businesses which remain under Adam Burgess, the Network Insurance (Connect and Reliance) businesses which remain under Tony Walker, and the Australian Broking business, which remain under Pat Miller.
Hosking’s responsibilities will also include IT, workers compensation and life broking.
“We believe the addition of David to the PSC team continues our efforts to be constantly growing our capabilities and will help us as we strive to double the size of the business again over the next 4 years,” the company said.
Hosking was most recently chief general manager for the broker and agency Division of Allianz Australia and prior to that he was chief financial officer for Allianz Australia.
According to PSC, Hosking is well known across the insurance industry and also in PSC having worked with the business for over a decade in his previous roles with Allianz.
