From Global Trade Review (GTR) | By Sanne Wass

Olga Berlinskaya has left Standard Chartered to join AIG’s supply chain and trade finance team. At Standard Chartered she was an associate director within the capital structuring and distribution group. There she worked with the distribution of financial institution and corporate trade assets into the secondary market, and risk participation in supply chain and receivables finance programmes, covering a European and Sub-Saharan African portfolio of financial institutions and alternative investors. She previously worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, HSBC and Olam International. At AIG, Berlinskaya has taken on the role of senior business development and relationship manager. Heading up AIG’s supply chain and trade finance team is Marilyn Blattner-Hoyle, who was promoted to the role last year after Scott Morris moved to Sompo Canopius. With her move, Berlinskaya joins a growing number of trade finance bankers who have left banks and taken the leap into insurance. A relatively recent example is Chris Hall, who moved from Lloyds Banking Group to become a senior underwriter at Liberty Specialty Markets earlier in the year. In 2015, Silja Calac took on an underwriting role in Swiss Re’s credit and surety team, and spoke to GTR recently about changing track almost two decades into her banking career.
