HDI Global appoints Alexandrine Ajavon as GM: Global Network Africa

Hannover - HDI Global SE has appointed Alexandrine Ajavon as General Manager Global Network Africa, and will be responsible for the relationship with and management of HDI Global's network partners in Africa. Alexandrine will be based in Paris and will report to Martial Fuge, Head of Global Network at HDI Global. 

She will dedicate her work to HDI Global's multinational clients who conduct business on the African continent as well as to strengthen HDI Global's position as a leading insurer of International Programmes. Alexandrine's appointment is a further demonstration of HDI Global's commitment to invest in its International Programme proposition and deliver best in class service to its multinational clients.

Alexandrine brings twenty years of experience in the field of multinational insurance programmes to HDI Global, having previously worked at AIG, Marsh and Sanlam-Allianz among others. She spent several years working in Africa, which complements her extensive expertise regarding the African continent, providing multinational insurance solutions in the region.

"I am delighted to welcome Alexandrine to my international team", says Martial Fuge. "Her deep knowledge of the insurance industry and the African continent make her the ideal person for HDI Global to deal with the fast-evolving regulatory environment in Africa. We see a growing demand from companies to do business in Africa. With Alexandrine on board, I am confident that we'll be able to further drive our proposition in International Programmes and offer our multinational clients tailor-made insurance solutions that are fully compliant with local regulations when they expand their business to Africa."

"I am excited to be part of HDI Global and further drive the company's offering of International Programmes", says Alexandrine. "Countries on the African continent are often undergoing transformations, be it in political, economic, social or environmental terms. At the same time, they provide opportunities for multinational companies that are looking for promising new markets to tap into. Therefore, entering the African market is challenging without local expertise. In my role, I will make sure that HDI Global is able to support its clients expanding to Africa as a reliable Partner in Transformation and extend its worldwide leading presence of IP services."

International Programmes are crucial for globally operating corporate groups as they provide compliant protection for risks worldwide. Leading roughly 5,300 such Programmes, HDI Global is one of the global leaders in the industry. Through its International Programmes, the Corporate & Specialty Insurer provides clients with consistent implementation and uniform insurance standards, while observing local compliance requirements.
