Following his appointment as group CEO and president of the group executive board at UBS Group AG, Sergio P. Ermotti, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Swiss Re, will step down at the end of the company’s Annual General Meeting scheduled for 12 April 2023.

Global reinsurance giant Swiss Re’s board has now nominated Jacques de Vaucleroy to step into the role until a successor is appointed. The insurer’s board has nominated Jacques de Vaucleroy as new vice chairman and lead independent director subject to his reelection as a board member. He will chair the board of directors until a new chairperson gets elected during an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.

Jacques de Vaucleroy was elected to the Board of Directors of Swiss Re Ltd in 2017. He chairs the Compensation Committee and is a member of the Governance and Nomination Committee and the Investment Committee. He is also Chairman of Swiss Re Europe S.A. and Swiss Re International SE.

Swiss Re’s Chairman Sergio P. Ermotti said:

“In response to these extraordinary circumstances, we will ensure the highest standards of good governance as well as stability and continuity in managing this transition. I am convinced the proceedings now proposed are in the best interest of our shareholders and I am confident that the transition under the leadership of Jacques de Vaucleroy will be well managed. Swiss Re has very clear strategic goals and is well positioned to deliver on all its targets.”

Renato Fassbind, current Vice Chairman, added:

“On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank Sergio for his significant contributions to Swiss Re and his dedicated leadership as Chairman over the last two years. We are grateful for his continued support during the transition period and wish him all the very best for the new challenges and opportunities ahead.”

Ermotti as group chief executive officer and president of the group executive board, effective on April 5, 2023, after the annual general meeting,” announced UBS on Wednesday.

“He will succeed Ralph Hamers, who has agreed to step down to serve the interests of the new combination, the Swiss financial sector, and the country.
