Allianz Italy: Sergio Balbinot (ex Generali) appointed new president

Sergio Balbinotis the new president of Allianz Italy. He replaces Claudia Parzani, recently appointed to the presidency of Borsa Italiana.

Balbinot left Generali at the time of Greco and recently said No to Caltagirone

Balbinot, who left Generali at the time of Mario Greco's management, is among the best-known insurance managers and most appreciated in the world and joined the management of Allianz on 2015 January XNUMX with responsibility for the countries of Western and Southern Europe and subsequently for the Middle East, North Africa and India. Under his guidance, Allianz was the first foreign insurance group to obtain the license to operate in China and in fact, among his many positions in the group, Balbinot is also president of Allianz China Holding.

Precisely the great esteem he enjoys in Allianz has led Balbinot not to listen the sirens that came to him from Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone that he would have wanted him as a candidate in his pwr list for a top position in Leone.

"I'm I am delighted to take on this new and prestigious role and – declared Balbinot – I would like to thank the outgoing president Claudia Parzani for the contribution given to the company in recent years. Italy is a key country for our group, which in recent years has strengthened its position under the guidance of the managing director Giacomo Campora”
