Spain, will become Country Manager for the Iberia region
Commenting on the changes, David Furby, President for Continental
Europe, said, "Jeff brings a wealth of experience to his new role for
ACE France, which is our single largest market in Continental Europe.
In recent years ACE has enjoyed tremendous success in the French
Market and I am confident that under Jeff's leadership, ACE France
will continue to build on this success.
"Maurizio Ferrario, who has been with ACE Italy since 2003, has
been a key figure in the successful establishment of our new branch
network and distribution platform in Italy. In his new position he
will ensure the management transition is as smooth as possible.
"I am also delighted to announce the promotion of Angel Diaz to
Country Manager for both Spain and Portugal. Our Portuguese operation
opened earlier this year and is one part of our strategy to expand our
geographical presence throughout the European region.

Muraire for his contribution to ACE France, under whose leadership,
the French team has achieved excellent results and business growth."
