Generali GC&C names Christian Kanu CEO

Generali Global Corporate & Commercial (GC&C) has announced the appointment of Christian Kanu as new CEO effective from 30 January 2023.

He replaces Manlio Lostuzzi, who was appointed as regional officer of the Central Eastern Europe region, effective of 1 September 2022.

The former Tokio Marine Europe CEO has worked in the insurance industry for more than 20 years at the highest international level, holding senior management positions in multiple countries and markets.

Kanu will oversee the implementation of the Generali Corporate & Commercial business across all the markets in which GC&C operates, in line with the priorities of the Group strategic plan.

Commenting on the appointment, Jean-Laurent Granier, country manager France, Europ Assistance & Global Business Lines, said Kanu’s cross-cultural and multinational background was a perfect fit for the strong international nature of GC&C.

”I am sure that under his leadership, GC&C will continue to have an even more relevant role in the corporate market. I would like to thank Manlio Lostuzzi for his work and his excellent performance in managing GC&C in these years. I wish him every success in the next chapter of his career in Generali.”
