HDI Global appoints new heads for Marine, Technical Services

Both appointments are effective 1 January.

HDI Global has appointed Dr. Carsten Schulte as its new global head of Marine, beginning 1 January.

He will be succeeded by Alexander Schlei as head of Technical & Strategic Services. 

Both will report to Dr. Dirk Höring, a member of HDI Global's Executive Board overseeing Property, Energy, Engineering, Marine, and HDI Risk Consulting.  

Schulte has led the Technical & Strategic Services division since its inception two years ago, enhancing underwriting capabilities and creating a hub for expertise sharing. 

Previously, he played a key role in developing HDI Global's portfolio steering approach. 

As he transitions to the Marine division, Schulte aims to drive growth, particularly outside Europe.  

Meanwhile, Schlei, with over 20 years of experience in corporate insurance, was most recently responsible for managing HDI Global’s NatCat division within Technical & Strategic Services. 

In his new role, Schlei will focus on improving steering capabilities in Short Tail underwriting and advancing technical excellence.
