MSIG Europe, the European insurance platform of MSIG Insurance Europe AG and part of the global MS&AD Insurance Group, has announced changes to its senior leadership team in France and Italy.
The appointments are part of the firm’s wider strategy to strengthen local expertise, deepen relationships with clients and brokers and support continued growth in key European markets.
Subject to regulatory approval, the company has appointed Olivier Reiz as country manager for France and Matteo Brioschi as country manager for Italy. MSIG Europe said the two appointments reflect its focus on combining strong local market knowledge with international insurance capabilities to create value for clients and partners.
Reiz joins MSIG Europe’s French operations with nearly 30 years of experience in the insurance sector. His career has included senior positions with international insurance companies and consulting firms, including serving as France country manager for Liberty Specialty Markets and more than 14 years with Chubb.
A qualified actuary, Reiz has an extensive background in technology insurance, business development, organizational transformation and leadership. MSIG Europe said his experience in growing businesses, managing change and building high-performing teams will support the company’s ambitions in France.
In his new role, he will be responsible for leading MSIG Europe’s French operations, with priorities including strengthening client and broker relationships, supporting sustainable profitable growth and continuing to enhance the company’s market presence through expertise and services.
Brioschi previously served as director of underwriting for MSIG. Since joining the company in 2022, he has played an important role in supporting the growth and development of the Italian business.
With more than two decades of insurance experience, including leadership roles at Unipol Assicurazioni and Allianz, Brioschi brings extensive underwriting knowledge and in-depth understanding of the Italian insurance market. MSIG Europe said his experience will be extremely valuable as the company continues to expand its capabilities and support customers across Italy.
As Country Manager for Italy, Brioschi will oversee the strategic focus and day-to-day operations of the branch, with a focus on maintaining strong partnerships, growing the business and delivering insurance solutions that meet the needs of clients and brokers.
MSIG Europe said the appointments demonstrate its continued investment in experienced leaders who understand the local market and share the company’s commitment to service excellence and long-term partnerships.
The company added that strengthening the leadership teams in France and Italy will help support closer collaboration with clients and broker partners, while reinforcing MSIG Europe’s position as a specialist insurance provider in the region.
