Guy Carp appoints Eastern Europe MD

Guy Carpenter has appointed Boguslaw Skuza as chairman and managing director, central and Eastern Europe.

Skuza will be based in Warsaw, Poland, and will report to Massimo Reina, chief executive officer of continental Europe & MENA.

Prior to joining Guy Carpenter, he was a member of the management board of PZU SA, a supervisory board member at PZU Życie and PTE PZU, and chairman of the supervisory board of PZU Ukraine and Lithuania.

Reina said: “There are very few people in today’s market who can be said to have the same level of understanding of the insurance sector in Central and Eastern Europe as Boguslaw. Not only does his extensive experience cover numerous territories including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, but also spans both the property and life markets. We are delighted that he will be leading our business in the region.”

Nick Frankland, chief executive officer of EMEA operations at Guy Carpenter, said: “The central and Eastern European market is highly diverse and complex. To achieve growth and properly service our clients in such a region requires proven, executive presence on-the-ground supported by extensive team capabilities. Guy Carpenter delivers on both these fronts and the appointment of Boguslaw will further strengthen and expand our expertise in this exciting region.”
