Eddy Van Cutsem is set to leave Insurance Ireland at the end of June, after taking on the role of interim CEO of the Dublin International Insurance and Management Association (DIMA) following the departure of Sarah Goddard last July.
Van Cutsem took on the role to assist the DIMA board with the development of its future strategy, which resulted in the merger of DIMA and Insurance Ireland in 2017, bringing together the domestic and international insurance and reinsurance sectors in the domicile.
At the time of the merger, Van Cutsem stated: “It is important that we respond to our members’ requirements as they adapt their businesses to a changing world. In this new merged association we offer strength and depth across all dimensions of re/insurance.”
“Ireland has developed into one of the few truly international reinsurance and insurance centres by becoming a home to both generalists and specialists: this diversity of business gives Ireland its unique flavour as an international centre for risk business.”
Once he departs from Insurance Ireland, Van Cutsem said he will continue to serve on the boards of KPN Insurance Company and Ireland Canada Business Association, as well as working at EVC Consulting as a non-executive director and independent insurance and financial services consultant.
