Fireman's Fund Insurance Company announced last week that its chief executive officer, Joseph J. Beneducci, had resigned after less than six months on the job.

The Novato, Calif.-based carrier–a member of the Allianz Group–had named Mr. Beneducci to the post effective Jan. 1 when Charles "Chuck" Kavitsky was promoted to president of Allianz of America. Mr. Kavitsky has now been named Fireman's interim CEO, the company said.

"Joe has been a significant part of Fireman's Fund's success, and I want to thank him for his many contributions," said Mr. Kavitsky, who served as Fireman's CEO from 2004 to the end of 2006.
