Swiss Re has promoted Ivan Gonzalez to CEO of its Corporate Solutions unit, succeeding Andreas Berger. The move will be effective on 1 July.
Gonzalez is currently CEO of Swiss Re Reinsurance China and country president of China, responsible for property and casualty, and life and health businesses in the territory.
He will relocate from Beijing to Zurich and join the group executive committee at Swiss Re.
Previously, he led the Corporate Solutions Business unit in the Americas, managing North America from 2017 until 2021, and Latin America from 2011 until 2016.
Prior to that, he worked in Asset Management and Group Strategy divisions at Swiss Re.
Christian Mumenthaler, group chief executive officer at Swiss Re, says: "Ivan has deep knowledge of corporate solutions after spending ten years in leadership roles there and helping to reposition the business from a generalist capacity provider to a specialised risk partner.
“He also brings a global mindset, unique international experience — having worked in Beijing, Singapore, New York, São Paulo and Zurich — and proven leadership capabilities to the role."
