Donna Brierley has been appointed commercial head of casualty at underwriting agencies brand Miramar Group.

Sydney-based Ms Brierley was most recently major accounts casualty underwriting manager at AIG, and formerly spent five years at Zurich and almost eight at Allianz.

“With more than 25 years’ experience in the insurance industry across Australia and the UK, including over 14 years specialising in liability underwriting, Donna brings extensive expertise in helping brokers navigate a broad range of casualty risks,” Miramar said.

The move comes after Miramar appointed Kerry Thom head of financial lines, tailored risk in June. He had been a senior casualty underwriter in AIG’s major accounts practice.
