PartnerRe Ltd. announced that Bruno Meyenhofer, the chairman of PartnerRe Global, has advised the company he will retire, effective March 31.
Mr. Meyenhofer joined Bermuda-based PartnerRe in 1998, through the company's acquisition of Winterthur Re, and led the integration of the PartnerRe, SAFR and Winterthur Re underwriting operations outside the U.S., the company said.
Under his leadership, the reinsurer said PartnerRe Global has tripled in size from a group of small business lines to a single diversified operating unit writing approximately $3 billion in premium.
Mr. Meyenhofer has held the position of chairman, PartnerRe Global, since July 2008, when Costas Miranthis assumed the role of chief executive officer, PartnerRe Global. Since that time Mr. Meyenhofer has been responsible for identifying and leading strategic initiatives for the group and has represented PartnerRe in the external regulatory and insurance communities.
PartnerRe President and CEO Patrick Thiele commented in a statement, "Bruno has been an integral part of PartnerRe's success over the past twelve years, first as he fostered the integration, growth and development of the Global business units and more recently in leading the PARIS RE acquisition integration process."
Mr. Thiele added that Mr. Meyenhofer's "dedication to the organization and its people have helped PartnerRe secure its current position of strength and profitability. While I will miss his intelligence and good judgment, I wish him well in his well-deserved retirement."
