Covéa deal triggers changes in PartnerRe’s senior leadership
PartnerRe has unveiled changes in its senior leadership following its acquisition by Covéa Group – a deal which closed earlier this week (July 12).
Thierry Derez (pictured), CEO of Covéa Group, will replace Brian Dowd as chairman of the company’s board of directors.
Dowd will remain on the board as an independent director, along with existing independent directors Mary Ann Brown and Hermann Pohlchristoph. PartnerRe President and CEO, Jacques Bonneau will also remain on the board.
At the same time, the Company announced that Enrico Vellano and António Horta-Osório have resigned from the board, in connection with the close.
Joining the Board are Maud Petit, CFO and deputy CEO Covéa Group, and Thierry Francq, general manager for Transformation and International Activities Covéa Group.
Petit was named CFO and deputy CEO of Covéa Group in 2018 and brings more than 25 years of experience in the re/insurance industry.
Francq, former general secretary of the French Financial Markets Supervisory Authority, joined Covéa in 2018 as chief of staff to the chairman and CEO, before being appointed general manager Strategy and Transformation in December 2019 and then group general manager for Transformation and International Activities in 2020.
Bonneau said, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Enrico and Antonio for their valuable contributions during their time on the PartnerRe Board. I would also like to welcome our new Chairman and Board members, who will further strengthen the Board’s breadth and depth of talent and will bring a new and valuable perspective.”
