PartnerRe hires former AIG director for LatAm role

PartnerRe has appointed Marcos Fugise as head of PartnerRe Brazil and the representative of its São Paulo office.

Fugise succeeds outgoing head, David Preti, who has returned to Europe.

Reporting to head of property/casualty Latin America, Salvatore Orlando, Fugise will be responsible for developing PartnerRe’s portfolio in Brazil, and will support clients throughout the region.

Fugise has over 18 years of experience in Latin America’s re/insurance market, having most recently served as statutory director of AIG Reinsurance Brazil, where he was responsible for treaty and facultative contracts across all business lines.

Prior to that, he served as commercial and technical director at AIG Seguros.

Tad Walker, chief executive officer of PartnerRe’s property/casualty segment, said: “Latin America is an important market for PartnerRe. Marcos will deepen our understanding of the market dynamics in that region and the specific challenges that our clients face.

“As a Brazilian with more than 18 years’ experience in the insurance and reinsurance market in Latin America, Marcos will be able to leverage his considerable experience and knowledge of the market to bring value to our clients.

“I would also like to thank David who is returning to Europe after many years as our Brazil representative for his outstanding work in the region. Over the years, he has worked hard to build PartnerRe’s reputation as a leading reinsurer in those markets and we would like to thank him for his important contribution.”
