HDI Global has appointed David Wilson as the global head of claims for its Energy & Power unit, effective March 1. This role aims to align claims operations more closely with underwriting and risk functions.

Wilson, joining from Allianz, will manage claims activities and report to Roman Felten. The energy insurance market is currently bifurcated, with property rates declining while casualty lines face rising pricing pressures, especially in US jurisdictions.

Swiss Re has identified a US$26 billion opportunity in clean energy. HDI Global is active in this sector, providing coverage for geothermal projects and utilizing AI in wind turbine monitoring. This appointment follows a leadership refresh in the unit, with Mark Mackay now leading energy & power.
