Three years ago, Fabrice Benard stood at the helm of a complex corporate marriage: the acquisition and merger of AXA Affin and MPI Generali into what is now Generali Insurance Malaysia. At the time, the priority was clear, integration.

Today, the company has secured its position as the country's fourth-largest general insurer. However, being a general insurance heavyweight isn't enough. Generali is now actively hunting for a major life insurance acquisition to match its general insurance footprint and crack the top five in the life space.
