Bermuda specialty re/insurer  Sompo International has hired a new European head of accident and health (A&H) from the Generali Group.

Based in Milan, Italy, Stefano Chiurlo (pictured) comes to Sompo International with more than 15 years of insurance experience. He has held a number of senior technical and leadership roles in the A&H segment with Generali Group, AXA XL, XL Catlin, AXA Italy, ACE and AIG.
