Swiss Re AG announced the appointment of Andreas Berger as group chief executive officer, starting from July 1. He succeeds Christian Mumenthaler, who will step down from the role after eight years as Group chief executive and 25 years with Swiss Re. Mumenthaler joined Swiss Re in 1999. During Mumenthaler's eight-year tenure as chief executive, Swiss Re's premiums earned and fee income grew from around $30 billion in 2015 to $45 billion in 2023.

Berger, aged 57, joined Swiss Re in March 2019 as chief executive corporate solutions and member of the group executive committee. Before that, he held leadership positions at Boston Consulting Group, Gerling, and Allianz.
