Swiss Re announces that Russell Higginbotham is appointed CEO Reinsurance EMEA and Regional President EMEA and member of the Group Executive Committee, effective 1 September 2018. Russell Higginbotham succeeds Jean-Jacques Henchoz, who has decided to pursue an opportunity outside Swiss Re. |
Russell Higginbotham has worked for Swiss Re for 24 years in roles across multiple business areas and geographies. Most recently, he led Swiss Re's global Life & Health (L&H) Products Division, where he played a pivotal role in strengthening the company's L&H solutions offering, boosting product innovation and maintaining the growth of large L&H reinsurance transactions. Previously, Russell Higginbotham served as CEO of Swiss Re UK & Ireland, CEO of Swiss Re Australia and New Zealand and led the company's L&H businesses in Japan and Korea. He has also held various appointments outside Swiss Re, having been a Director of both the Association of British Insurers and the International Underwriting Association, as well as President of the Insurance Institute of London. Swiss Re Chairman, Walter B. Kielholz, says: "Russell Higginbotham has a very strong track record within Swiss Re, making him the ideal candidate to continue leading the growth of our business in EMEA. Over the last few years, he has played a significant role in strengthening our L&H Products segment and improving its contribution to the Group." Swiss Re is pleased that this appointment of a strong internal candidate brings important continuity for its clients. Walter B. Kielholz continues: "On behalf of the Swiss Re Board of Directors, I would like to thank Jean-Jacques Henchoz for his contribution to Swiss Re throughout the past 20 years. Before becoming CEO Reinsurance EMEA and Regional President EMEA, he held a number of leadership roles across the company with increasing impact over the years." |
