Global health services company Cigna Corporation has appointed Jerome Droesch as Chief Executive Officer for the Middle East and Africa region, expanding his remit to include all markets across Africa.
Droesch has also been appointed Senior Executive Officer and Chairman of the Cigna Insurance Management Services Board in the Dubai International Financial Centre.
He continues to serve as a Board Member of Cigna’s joint venture operations in India and Turkey.
Jerome has successfully led Cigna’s Middle East business, where he has strengthened the company’s position as an industry leader, achieving growth and stability for Cigna across the region.
It’s hoped the expansion of his role will further accelerate Cigna’s growth, creating synergies across the Middle East and Africa markets, enabling the company to offer more accessible and convenient solutions to its customers.
The move reinforces Cigna’s commitment to the fast-growing insurance industry in the MEA region.
“Jerome is a seasoned leader with extensive experience driving business growth in the health insurance sector,” said Jason Sadler, President, Cigna International Markets.
“I am excited to continue working closely with him to further strengthen our presence across the MEA region, through a dedicated consumer-centric approach.”
“Africa has always been a key growth market for Cigna and combining both markets makes sense operationally, since a large number of clients and brokers are unifying their MEA activities,” said Droesch.
“Over the next few years, we aim to strengthen our product portfolio and focus on delivering service excellence to people and businesses across the MEA region.”
