HDI Global has appointed Amy Shinkman as credit and political risk lead at HDI Global US, adding an experienced specialist to its corporate and specialty insurance operations. The insurer is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, while Shinkman will be based in Washington, D.C.
The move places Shinkman in charge of an area that focuses on credit and political risk solutions for clients. HDI Global said she brings more than 25 years of experience in global credit and political risk, making her a veteran addition to the US business.
Her appointment highlights the insurer’s focus on strengthening expertise in a specialized segment of the market. Credit and political risk coverage is often used by companies with cross-border exposure, trade concerns, or investment risks tied to changing economic and political conditions.
With Shinkman taking on the lead role, HDI Global US is adding senior leadership in a field that requires deep market knowledge and international experience. The appointment also reflects continued activity in the insurance sector as carriers build out teams in niche commercial lines.
