(Bloomberg) — General Re Corp., one of the reinsurance units at Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., named Robert M. Jones and Carole M. Ferrero to lead direct sales of property-casualty coverage.

Jones will be in charge of marketing and Ferrero will be global chief underwriter, according to a statement from the division of Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire. The company said that Mo Tooker, who used to lead Gen Re's direct property-casualty business, had resigned.

“I am confident Bob and Carole will lead our reinsurance business to new heights, delivering differentiated products and services as well as unparalleled underwriting expertise,” Gen Re Chief Executive Officer Tad Montross said in the statement.
