Granite Management Limited (Granite) and Generali Employee Benefits (GEB) are celebrating 15 years of collaboration. Ludovic Bayard, chief executive officer at Generali Employee Benefits, describes the milestone as an “extraordinary journey” that began with “bold ideas”. Bayard says: “It’s been an extraordinary journey with Granite Management Limited and Brian Quinn - one that began with bold ideas and evolved into a lasting partnership built on trust, innovation, and shared purpose. “Granite has always been the kind of partner that keeps us sharp, precise, demanding, and never missing a detail. In the next chapter, we will for sure continue to innovate, grow, and deliver value together.” The partnership traces its roots back to 2002 with the creation of the GIL Captive, one of the first captives in GEB’s employee benefits business. Brian Quinn and Bayard led the initial development of the structure. In 2010, the entity transitioned into Granite, a move that enabled the firm to open new opportunities and expand beyond its original scope. To commemorate the anniversary and the bond between the global teams, the partners have framed the cover page of the original retrocession agreement—the document that established the foundation of the business relationship.
