Coface is announcing two changes in the
Mediterranean and Africa region management with the appointments of

Country Manager of Coface Italy in 2012. Under his leadership,
Coface Italy has become the largest contributor to Coface's
turnover and a strong, profitable, and diversified entity with a
leading position in the credit insurance and bonding market. The
development of business information is a new growth area in the
Italian market, benefiting from positive momentum.
Pietro has a long career in the insurance sector
and has held various positions within Coface for the Italian and
regional activities, in the areas of risk and commercial sales and
underwriting.
Ernesto and Pietro's objective will be to enable
Coface to continue its growth trajectory and to play a key role in
the 2024-2027 "Power the core" strategic plan.
Coface would also like to thank Cécile Paillard
for her commitment over the past 7 years and wish her every success
in her future career.
