He will be responsible for the General Property, Energy Property and Engineering & Construction portfolios in Canada.

Gasco’s appointment was announced in June. Like Ross, he will start his new role on September 1, and will continue to serve as a member of the Canada Management Team for Swiss Re Corporate Solutions.
