There will be a changing of the guard at the top of Swiss Re by the middle of the year. The reinsurer’s Board of Directors has appointed Andreas Berger as Group CEO with effect from July 1, 2024.

He succeeds Christian Mumenthaler, who will step down.

Berger joined Swiss Re in March 2019 as CEO of the Corporate Solutions division and member of the Executive Board, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.
