European mutual insurance association AMICE appoints new board director

The Association of Mutual Insurers and Insurance Cooperatives in Europe (AMICE) has appointed Oliver Schoeller as a director on its board for a three-year term. Schoeller was also elected as a vice president of AMICE. Schoeller was recently appointed as chief executive officer of German mutual insurer Gothaer Versicherungsbank VVaG and Gothaer Finanzholding. He has 24 years’ experience in the European mutual and cooperative insurance sector. AMICE president Grzegorz Buczkowski said: “We are delighted that AMICE’s membership has approved the appointment of Mr Schoeller to the Board and as a Vice-President. German mutual insurers...

play a critical role in their country, protecting businesses and individuals alike.

"AMICE’s Board is looking forward to working with Mr Schoeller to ensure that the mutual insurance community in Germany and across Europe continues to be fully represented to European policymakers. I would like to thank his predecessor on the AMICE Board, Christopher Lohmann, for his deep support and assistance to AMICE during his time as a Director and Vice President.”

Schoeller commented: “I am delighted to be confirmed in this role and to have the opportunity to provide a contribution to driving forward AMICE’s objectives and priorities at a particularly challenging time. The mutual/cooperative sector makes an important contribution to its policyholders and wider European society, providing security and stability. It is a story for today’s Europe. AMICE continues to push for the mutual/cooperative model to be better understood and respected."
