Furthermore, Moses Ojeisekhoba, currently CEO Reinsurance, has been given responsibility to lead the newly formed Global Clients and Solutions Business Unit.

The Global Clients and Solutions unit will comprise the client management teams servicing Swiss Re’s global reinsurance clients, Public Sector Solutions, iptiQ and Reinsurance Solutions.

Commenting on changes, Swiss Re group CEO Christian Mumenthaler said: “The planned changes will emphasise performance accountabilities and bring clear efficiencies. The simpler set-up with shorter decision paths will also result in enhanced client focus.”
