KISELEV TO QUIT AS ALFA STRAKHOVANIE HEAD, PAPER CLAIMS

Denis Kiselev, the head of Russian insurer Alfa Strakhovanie, is to leave his post in the next two months, Russian business paper Vedomosti reports. Quoting an inside source at the insurer, the paper claims that Mr Kiselev is “bored” with insurance and wants to return to his previous employer, Russia’s central bank. The source suggested that Alfa Strakhovanie managing director Vladimir Skvortsov would replace Mr Kiselev. Mr Kiselev was appointed head of Alfa Strakhovanie’s predecessor Alfa, and oversaw the merger of Alfa and fellow domestic insurer VESTA to form Alfa Strakhovanie last year.
