Generali Asset Management Proposes New CEO, Nominates General Manager
The firm's current CEO is scheduled to depart at the end of April.
Late last week, Generali
Asset Management said it had nominated Russell
Büsst to be its next CEO and that Filippo Casagrande would be
made general manager (a newly-formed role).
Both proposed appointments, which are subject to approval by the
relevant corporate bodies, will take effect once the current CEO,
Bruno Servant, completes his mandate at the end of April this
year, GAM said in a statement.
Büsst serves as CEO and chief investment officer for the European
operations of Conning, part of Generali Investments.
Casagrande is chief of investments of Generali Investments and,
since March 2025, he also serves as chair of Generali Investments
Luxembourg. He joined Generali Investments in 2009.
At the end of 2025, Generali Asset Management had €386 billion
($445.4 billion) in client assets.
