Managing general underwriter (MGU) Victor Insurance Holdings has announced the appointment of Matteo Bonfà as Country Manager, Victor Italia, effective immediately.
With a 20-year career in the insurance industry, Bonfà has extensive underwriting expertise, particularly in the medical malpractice sector.
This includes positions first as an underwriter at Lloyd’s of London, then as Underwriting Manager, General Liability and Pharma, at QBE European Operations in Italy.
Before joining Victor, Bonfà was Chief Executive Officer and Chief Underwriting Officer of US Underwriting Solutions.
Going forward Bonfà will be based in Milan, reporting to Anthony Stevens, President, Victor International.
“Victor is experiencing a period of exciting growth in Italy,” said Bonfà. “This is a unique opportunity to join an organisation with such a strong value proposition and bright future.”
Bonfà succeeds Tony Cabot, who is retiring after 40 years in the insurance industry, including three years as Country Leader of Victor Italia. Cabot will remain with the company in a consulting role.
“Matteo’s strong underwriting leadership and global perspective are well-matched with Victor Italia’s ambitious expansion plans,” said Anthony Stevens.
“Technology and big data are revolutionizing the way the entire industry operates globally and Victor can play a crucial role in that digital transformation. I would also like to thank Tony Cabot for his tremendous contribution to Victor’s success in Italy.”
