Generali Asia has appointed Bruce de Broize as managing director and chief executive officer of Future Generali India Life Insurance (FGILI).
The appointment follows Generali taking a majority stake in FGILI.
De Broize was most recently regional head of distribution for Generali Asia based in Hong Kong where, for over five years, he oversaw life, health and property and casualty distribution for Generali’s operations across China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.
He succeeds Miranjit Mukherjee who has been interim CEO since September 2021.
Rob Leonardi, regional officer for Asia, said: “Bruce has been a catalyst since he joined the company. He’s proven to be an effective leader at driving strategic initiatives and managing profitable growth which will be a huge asset for our business in India.
“We are confident in his ability to capitalise on the growth opportunities ahead and have seen first-hand his commitment to our people, our customers, our business partners and our agents.”
De Broize (pictured) added: “I am excited to be taking on this new role especially at this time when Generali marks its new growth chapter in India. I am inspired by the company we have built and look forward to leading our business as a lifetime partner to our customers, distributors and business partners in India.”
