Swiss Re appoints Cordioli CFO Global Reinsurance

Reinsurer Swiss Re has appointed Claudia Cordioli to the role of CFO Reinsurance.

She will move from her current role as head Western & Southern Europe (WSE) for reinsurance, to take up the CFO post on February 1, 2020

Cordioli succeeds Gerhard Lohmann, who has decided to pursue an opportunity outside the group and will be leaving the company towards the end of February 2020.

In her new role, Cordioli will report to Moses Ojeisekhoba, CEO Reinsurance, and become a member of the Reinsurance Management Team, based in Zurich.

Ojeisekhoba said: "In Claudia Cordioli we found a very strong internal successor for the CFO role, which will ensure continuity for our business. She has done a remarkable job in running the western and southern Europe region for reinsurance, and she remains fully committed to supporting our clients there through the upcoming renewal period. I would also like to thank Gerhard for his strong contribution over the past seven years."

Cordioli has nearly 20 years' experience in the financial services industry and joined Swiss Re in 2003. She has held a number of positions within the group's finance functions, including CFO for EMEA and head of group external reporting. As a member of boards and management committees of Swiss Re subsidiaries in several European countries, she gained knowledge of strategic, regulatory and financial matters across the region. In 2016, she was appointed managing director for Italy, Iberia and Mediterranean and in 2018 took on her current position as head of WSE, where she now leads Swiss Re's reinsurance business in 15 countries. Prior to joining Swiss Re, Cordioli developed significant experience in banking and consulting firms including KPMG.

Her successor for the role of head Western & Southern Europe for reinsurance will be announced in due course.
