PIB Group Italia has appointed Fabrice Kron as Chief Executive Officer, marking a continuation in the Group’s development and growth in Italy. Fabrice took up the role on Monday 19 October and will lead the Group’s broking operations alongside Edoardo Ceola, who continues in his position as Chairman of the Board.
PIB Group has built a strong base in Italy, and the next phase will build on that progress, guided by clear strategic priorities. Fabrice Kron will lead this growth in Italy, bringing more than 20 years of international experience in insurance across executive leadership, business development, and mergers and acquisitions, including post-acquisition integration.
As Integration Director at Groupe Premium, Fabrice originated the acquisition of Grifo Group and led its integration. Before that, as CEO of +Simple in Italy, he oversaw a period of significant growth, both organic and through acquisitions, integrating four companies and building a nationwide broker distribution network.
Business and corporate continuity are ensured by a strong organisational structure, with Edoardo Ceola retaining all his current roles. The organization, key contacts, services and commitments to clients and partners remain unchanged. The new management structure is therefore integrated within the existing organization, with the objective of supporting the Group’s continued evolution and further accelerating growth opportunities.
Alongside Fabrice’s appointment, Marco Favale will lead PIB Group’s newly created Italy-France region, set up to strengthen coordination between the two markets and support growth in both.
Marco Favale commented: “Our journey in Italy continues. Fabrice brings the right experience to build further momentum behind the growth strategy we’ve been putting in place over recent months.”
Fabrice Kron, the newly appointed CEO, commented on joining PIB Group Italia: "I am joining a strong group with a significant presence in Italy. Together with the local and international teams, our objective is to develop an increasingly integrated and competitive insurance brokerage platform, accelerate organic growth, strengthen distribution networks and relationships with insurance carriers, and seize new acquisition opportunities."
