AIG Europe has appointed Riccardo Gavazza in the role of global fronting underwriter, to be based in Milan.
Gavazza will join the Global Risk Solutions team in order to deal with global fronting programmes incorporating varying levels of risk retention and/or risk transfer, captives, and rent-a-captives.
He will also be involved in alternative solutions combining structuring and risk transfer to address what AIG terms as “complex, unusual, or difficult to insure risks”.
Gavazza joined AIG 10 years ago as a property and energy senior underwriter and since 2009 he has specialised in energy underwriting.
He has 18 years of experience in the insurance industry and has worked for RSA and Zurich managing large domestic and multinational accounts.
