Generali;Ciao,Giovanni;Italys biggest insurer fires its boss. 意大利忠利保险换帅;再见，乔瓦尼;意大利最大保险公司的老板被解雇了。 Rarely elegant, often brutal, sacking the boss is atraumatic way to change direction. The dispatch ofGiovanni Perissinotto, Generalis chief executivesince 2001, was no exception, but at least his endcame swiftly. He was turfed out on June 2nd, justtwo days after Italys stockmarket regulator toldGenerali, the countrys largest insurancecompany, to convene a board meeting to tackle a boardroom split. Mr Perissinotto has beenreplaced by Mario Greco, currently head of general insurance business at Zurich Insuranceof Switzerland. 企业要转向，解雇老板这条路是伤痛的，很少能做到优雅，大多时候都很残酷。乔尼瓦佩里斯诺托自2001年起就担任忠利保险首席执行官，那么现在他的离去也不例外。意大利证券市场调控机构要求意最大保险公司忠利集团召集董事会，解决董事成员之间的争议，两天之后，即6月2日，佩里斯诺托就被解雇了。现任瑞士苏黎世保险公司普通保险业务总裁的马里奥格雷科将接替佩里斯诺托的位置。 The main charge that several directors levelled at Mr Perissinotto was that Generali hadperformed poorly on his watch. Recent figures bear that out. Profits slumped last year to856m Euro from 1.7 billion Euro in 2010, and net profits in the first quarterof 2012 were down on the same period last year. Moreover, the Italian insurers stockmarketperformance has been far worse than that of European competitors. Since the beginning of2011 Generalis shares have lost 37% while Zurichs have declined by only 21%. Littlewonder that one director told Mr Perissinotto bluntly that he was not up to the job. |
