Europ Assistance—Tarik Ajami

EA appoints new Group General Counsel

Europ Assistance Group (EA) appoints Tarik Ajami as General Counsel. Mr Ajami will report directly to Antoine Parisi, CEO of Europ Assistance Group.

Mr Ajami joined Generali Global Assistance in January 2017 and since then, has transformed the legal and compliance functions for EA’s entities in the US, resolving complex open regulatory issues and leading numerous strategic initiatives for the group’s US businesses.

According to Antoine Parisi: “We are very pleased to welcome Tarik in the top management team at Europ Assistance Group. He joins us from Generali Global Assistance in the United States where he played a key role in managing major deals in the travel assistance sector. Tarik brings deep and vast knowledge of the legal and compliance issues surrounding assistance. His role will be to not just oversee our legal function, but he will also serve as a key driver of business at the Group level in times of change and growth. This is a great example of career development within Europ Assistance Group.”

Mr Ajami has been with Generali Global Assistance for almost five years and during his tenure has demonstrated commitment to advocating for the company’s mission. This transition is not only a testament to his impressive work ethic and skillset, but also the close-knit nature of Europ Assistance’s corporate structure. This internal promotion was facilitated by Europ Assistance’s strong commitment to developing their employees from around the world.

“We are so excited to have Tarik as the new EA Group General Counsel. Time and time again, he has shown dedication and hard work throughout his tenure with our company, and this promotion is well-deserved. I am confident that Tarik is the right choice for this position given his expertise in the field which we know he will leverage to drive the Group’s goals”, said CEO of Generali Global Assistance, Chris Carnicelli.
