Generali Global Corporate & Commercial (GC&C), Italian insurer  Generali's P&C unit, has appointed a new global head of claims, and established a new insurance function.

Pedro Ruano (pictured), the former head of GC&C Iberia & LatAm, will now be responsible for steering the claims processes at global level.

The new insurance structure, headed by Hayden Seach as GC&C head of insurance (formerly GC&C head of underwriting), leads and oversees the activities related to the entire insurance process.

Ruano has over 30 years of experience in the corporate insurance industry, specifically in claims practices. He joined Generali in 1992.

Seach has three decades of underwriting experience in the commercial general insurance sector. He is a corporate market insurance specialist with a wealth of diverse experience in many markets across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and most recently Europe.

Manlio Lostuzzi, chief executive of GC&C, said: “We are delighted to announce these organisational appointments that will further equip us in executing our strategy and serving our clients at the highest level. We are constantly committed to enhance our ability to fulfill the needs of our clients and these appointments go exactly in this direction.

"The newly created Insurance function will guarantee a further straightforward management direction amongst the entire insurance processes, improving synergies, efficiency and delivery.”
