HDI Global Specialty shuffles leadership in Italy in expansion move

HDI Global Specialty has unveiled fresh leadership changes in Italy as it looks to optimise its footprint in the market.

Olga Candi (pictured) has been appointed to the role of general manager and the head of its branch office in Milan. She replaces Paolo Volpi who has moved on to new challenges outside of the group.

The move will see Alberto Bellomi, managing director of HDI Global SE in Italy, take on the duties of legal representative for the HDI Global Specialty branch in support of its commercial transactions and operations.

Candi has over nine years’ experience in the insurance industry and was previously underwriter co-ordinator for the branch.

Ralph Beutter, CEO, HDI Global Specialty, said: “We are delighted that Olga will lead the Italy branch, and its team of professionals, through its next evolutionary phase to establish the branch as a significant player in the Italian specialty market. Olga is respected widely both within our group and by our business partners, and HDI Global Specialty believes in the potential the market has to offer and in the value that our security can provide.”

Candi commented: “I am excited to be able to lead the team here in Italy at this important time as we look to optimise the HDI Global Specialty footprint in our market, and I look forward to developing its potential for the benefit of my staff, our customers and the wider HDI Group.”
