What Generali Switzerland does

Generali Switzerland is the Swiss operating subsidiary of Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A., one of Europe's largest insurance groups. Headquartered in Adliswil with a second office in Nyon, the entity traces its Swiss presence to 1887 and operates through licensed carriers including Generali Personenversicherungen AG, Generali Allgemeine Versicherungen AG, Fortuna Rechtsschutz (legal protection), and Generali Investments Schweiz AG (FINMA-regulated investment business). It also runs HITS House of Insurtech Switzerland, an innovation and partnership platform.

The company provides a multi-line insurance and pension portfolio spanning life insurance (with stated leadership in Swiss fund-based life), property and casualty, accident, pension solutions, and legal protection insurance. Distribution is multi-channel: a proprietary agency network, a broker portal, a customer self-service portal, and a network of more than 1,600 distribution partners reaching both retail and B2B segments. The digital stack was expanded in 2024 with a multilingual chatbot supporting four Swiss languages, alongside customer and broker portals.

The business model is that of a traditional multi-line insurer earning premium income, investment returns on backing portfolios (including via Generali Investments Schweiz AG), and fee-based income on fund-linked life products and asset management. Recent leadership signals — a new CEO (Rémi Vrignaud, 2025), CDO (Giuliano Leggeri, March 2024), and CHRO (Anne-France Epelbaum, February 2023) — indicate an active transformation agenda focused on digitization, people, and group-level integration within the DACH region. The entity employs 101-250 staff and serves over one million customers in Switzerland.
