Industrial insurer HDI Global SE Australia (HDI) has named Natalie Miladinski as its cyber underwriting manager for the Asia-Pacific region, operating from Sydney.

Miladinski (pictured) joins HDI with nearly 10 years of experience in the cyber insurance sector. Before this role, she was the cyber and technology practice leader at a global insurance firm.

“We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Natalie Miladinski as the new head of cyber for Australia and APAC. With an impressive track record in cyber leadership and a proven commitment to fostering growth and innovation, we will continue to focus on the dynamic landscape of Australia and the broader APAC region,” said Alex Tarantino, managing director of HDI Global SE Singapore.

Tarantino noted that Miladinski’s expertise aligns with HDI’s commitment to evolving alongside the increasing complexity of cyber threats.

“As cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale, this appointment demonstrates our commitment to evolving with the needs of our clients. In this regard, Natalie brings a wealth of experience and expertise, positioning HDI Global SE at the forefront of cyber insurance,” he said.

Stefan Feldmann, head of HDI Global Asia Pacific and managing director Australia, said the appointment would help the company craft tailored solutions and strategic insights for its clients.

“With her expertise in navigating the complexities of cyber risk, Natalie will tailor solutions and strategic insights that will strengthen our HDI product offering. Her commitment to understanding the unique challenges of our clients aligns with our mission to deliver exceptional service and protection, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team,” he said.

A part of the Talanx Group, HDI Global SE Australia recently expanded its liability team in the eastern and western states by appointing Tami Sorensen as its new southern region liability manager and Leah Nesbitt as assistant underwriter in Western Australia. Additionally, Zubin Mathew has taken the role of Victoria liability manager.
