"He (Berger) has demonstrated a strong focus on execution while at the same time innovating the business with data analytics-based solutions. He will carry forward a culture of performance and achievements and strong leadership values," de Vaucleroy said in a release. "The board's thorough succession planning process has resulted in the appointment of an outstanding candidate for the role of group CEO while it has also demonstrated the strength and depth of Swiss Re's leadership talent."
Before joining Swiss Re in 2019, Berger held leadership positions with Boston Consulting Group, Gerling and Allianz. While with Allianz, he served as CEO of Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE's (AGCS) regional unit in London and joined AGCS's board of management in 2011 as chief regions and market office for Central & Eastern Europe, Mediterranean, Africa and Asia.
An active member of numerous industry and business associations, Berger is chairman of the International Insurance Society and sits on the board of Advance, a gender equality in business organization.
