Reinsurer Swiss Re has poached a top executive from Germany's largest insurer.
Swiss Re is naming Andreas Berger as the new head of its corporate solutions division, effective from April 2019, the Zurich-based reinsurer said in a statement. He will become part of Swiss Re's 12-person top management under CEO Christian Mumenthaler.
Berger joins from Allianz corporate arm, which he is currently head of regions and markets. He will replaceAgostino Galvagni, who is leaving Swiss Re at year-end after 30 years. Berger will be charged with improving its international business capabilities, Swiss Re said.
Galvagni is the second long-standing Swiss Re executive to leave the reinsurer in as many months: European boss Jean-Jacques Henchoz left four weeks ago.
