(Bloomberg) -- Munich Re named Andreas Kleiner to lead American Modern Insurance Group, the U.S. unit that is reshaping its business mix after the departure of its previous chief executive officer.

Kleiner is joining from Munich Re’s Ergo International subsidiary, where he has been a member of the board of management since 2007 and had responsibility for primary coverage in locations including India, Vietnam, Singapore, Turkey and Greece, American Modern said in a statement Tuesday. He is moving to the Cincinnati area and starts in his new role May 1. He replaces Manny Rios, who left in August and was appointed last month to lead the South African insurer Telesure.
