SCOR’s P&C CEO Jean-Paul Conoscente comments:Jean Tuccella has decided to retire so it is with a heavy heart that, after all these years of service with SCOR, we bid farewell and wish him a healthy, happy and long retirement. I’m fully confident that Jaume, who has worked for the past eight years with Jean and the team, will continue to develop the IDI line of business of SCOR P&C”. 

Committed to a consistent underwriting approach over the past 40 years, SCOR’s dedicated IDI team offers clients a global market vision on both established and emerging markets. IDI protects construction owners against damage caused by defects in design, workmanship, or materials affecting structure, external walls and roofs, and against any consequential damage to non-structural works and equipment. Claims may be raised if the defect was unidentified at the date of practical completion, and if the damage occurs during the 10-year coverage period.
