ACE European Group (ACE) announced today the appointment of Nikolay Dmitriev as Country Manager for its Russian operation, ACE Insurance Company CJSC. He replaces Andreas Wania who moved to the role of Regional Manager Central Eastern Europe, CIS and Russia in July this year.
Based in Moscow, Nikolay will have full management responsibility for ACE’s business in Russia. He joins ACE from AIG where he managed the commercial lines department with a team of 25 people. He was appointed President of AIG Russia in 2004 and led the opening of new offices and distribution channels across Russia.
Andreas Wania said: “ACE has grown rapidly in Russia since the incorporation of the company in October 2004. After having managed this company for more than four years I will hand over management responsibility to Nikolay and look forward to working closely with him in my new role as Regional Manager.
“Russia and the CIS still offer growth opportunities and I am convinced Nikolay will contribute new ideas on how to increase our earning streams over the next few years. He is very close to the business in Russia, with a good reputation in the market and is well known in the broker community.”
