Generali GC&C makes three promotions in underwriting management reshuffle

Generali Global Corporate & Commercial (GC&C) has made three internal promotions within its European underwriting teams as it looks to enhance its strategy execution capabilities.

Reto Arrigoni has been named as global head of casualty underwriting, responsible for leading casualty underwriting globally. Arrigoni was formerly GC&C’s head of underwriting in Italy and has over two decades of experience in the insurance sector, having joined Generali GC&C in 2014.

Before joining Generali he worked for Zurich in Switzerland, the US and the UK, and for XL Insurance in Switzerland.

Enrico Mazza replaces Arrigoni as head of underwriting for Italy. Mazza was formerly GC&C’s regional head of underwriting for the Austria, Central and Eatern Europe and Russia (ACEER) region. In his new role he is responsible for ensuring the technical excellence and profitability of the GC&C portfolios in Italy, defining and implementing the underwriting strategy for the various lines of business.

Tomasz Kukuła replaces Mazza as regional head of underwriting for ACEER. Kukuła was formerly head of GC&C underwriting at Generali Poland. He has over two decades of underwriting experience in the corporate and commercial insurance sector, specialising in underwriting governance and management for the property and casualty risks portfolio.

Prior to joining Generali Kukuła was engineering head of underwriting at Allianz Poland. He has held various positions connected with underwriting in the insurance and brokerage industries.

All three appointments report to the global head of underwriting, Hayden Seach. Mazza also reports to the country head of GC&C in Italy, Franco Franzoso, while Kukuła also reports to the regional head of GC&C for ACEER, Samuele Borghi.

Manlio Lostuzzi, chief executive officer at Generali GC&C, said: “It is in our DNA to have strong empowerment and accountability, brought as close as possible to the client in order to add value beyond the policy.”
