Claudio Costamagna, the former chairman of European investment banking at Goldman Sachs, is poised to become the new chairman of Assicurazione Generali in the latest of a string of moves by former Goldman bankers into Italian politics and business.
Costamagna, who spent 18 years at Goldman before leaving in March 2006 and was one of the best-known dealmakers in European investment banking, is set to be named chairman of Generali at the insurerâs shareholder meeting in April in a top management reshuffle at the Italian insurer, according to Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore.
