Swiss Re CUO Léger to step down

Swiss Re's group chief underwriting officer, Thierry Léger, is stepping down from his role with immediate effect.

Group chief executive officer, Christian Mumenthaler, will take over Léger's responsibilities ad interim.

He said: "Over the past 25 years with Swiss Re, Thierry made great contributions to many parts of our business, from reinsurance to former Life Capital Business Unit, to group underwriting. Since his appointment as Group CUO in 2020, he has successfully evolved our underwriting capabilities through utilising cutting-edge research, access to more and better data and analytics. On behalf of the entire group executive committee, I would like to thank Thierry for his dedication and commitment to Swiss Re and wish him all the success for the future."
