ACE Group announced two management promotions as it continues to invest in its casualty insurance business across its Continental Europe region.

Jerome Salmon has been promoted to the position of regional casualty manager, Continental Europe. In this role, he will have profit centre responsibility for ACE’s casualty portfolio across the region.

Previously, he had regional responsibility for ACE’s multinational and major risk casualty accounts in Continental Europe.

Salmon will continue to be based in Paris. He will report to Jeff Moghrabi, chief operating officer, Continental Europe at ACE and to Mark Homan, executive vice president, Casualty for ACE Overseas General. He replaces Rosemary Ness, who has chosen to take a career break.

At the same time, Connie Germano, casualty manager, Middle Market and Life Sciences, Continental Europe at ACE, has been promoted to the role of regional technical manager Casualty and underwriting manager Casualty Specialties, Continental Europe.
