• Greater focus on technical excellence and developing broker relationship and client’s portfolio

Milan/Madrid – Generali Global Corporate & Commercial (GC&C) announces the strategic reorganization of its business in the Mediterranean and Latin America region. This new geographical area - previously known as GC&C Iberia & Latin America – oversees the corporate and commercial activities in the Mediterranean area (excluding Italy and Greece) and South America. Within this reorganization, a new function called Area Manager has been established. Samantha Gimeno is appointed Mediterranean Area Manager CBRM and oversees the Mediterranean market. The LatAm region is led by Fabricio Porto, new Latin America Area Manager CBRM.

In line with the Group's strategy “Lifetime Partner 24: Driving Growth” and the approach of consistently aiming for profitable growth, the new structure Mediterranean & Latin America is committed to developing broker relationship, support clients in their international development, and pursue technical excellence. This commitment has led to the creation of two pivotal roles aligning with GC&C's core strategies: the expansion of geographical reach through the establishment of the Area Manager CBRM roles, led by Samantha Gimeno and Fabricio Porto; and the reinforcement of technical excellence with the interim appointment of Carlos Gomez (Head of GC&C Mediterranean & Latin America) as Head of Insurance. On this matter, the functions Claims, Underwriting, Risk Prevention & Risk Engineering will report directly to the Head of Insurance; moreover, the Risk Prevention & Risk Engineering structure has been consolidated as an independent unit.

In this way, we will enhance our ability to proactively cultivate relationships with brokers, and to assist our clients even more effectively in their international development.
