SI Re names Studer as Underwriting Manager and Dal Moro as Head of Pricing

Swiss reinsurer SIGNAL IDUNA Rückversicherungs AG (SI Re) is strengthening its presence in the Spanish, Portuguese, and German markets with the appointment of Maximilian Studer as Underwriting Manager and Eric Dal Moro as Head of Pricing.

Studer, who joined SI Re as Underwriting Manager in September, will take over responsibility for the Spanish and Portuguese markets from Nicolas Schmidhauser, who will now focus on the Eastern European markets, while also overseeing the German market together with Thomas Bodenschatz.

Studer most recently served at Korean Re Switzerland AG, where he was responsible as a P&C Underwriter for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

Before this, he worked for more than four years as a reinsurance broker at Aon Switzerland.

Meanwhile, in September, Eric Dal Moro took over leadership of SI Re’s pricing team, succeeding Sascha Kälin, who has been appointed Head of Analytics.

Most recently, Dal Moro served as Group Non-Life Chief Actuary at the Baloise Group, and before that, he was responsible for Quantitative Risk Management at the health insurer Assura.

From 2009 to 2019, he held various senior positions at SCOR, initially as Head of Group P&C Reserving and later as Head of Agriculture & Specialty Pricing.

Earlier in his career, he worked at Swiss Re, Ernst & Young, and AXA.

Dr. Arnold Löw, CEO of SI Re, commented, “With the appointment of Maximilian Studer, we are strategically strengthening our underwriting presence in our core market Germany, as well as across Iberia – a region with strong growth potential for SI Re.

“At the same time, we are investing in our actuarial capabilities by welcoming Eric Dal Moro. His broad and long-standing experience in both primary and reinsurance will provide valuable momentum to the evolution of our pricing.

“Sascha Kälin, who has successfully led the pricing team, will now take on responsibility for the newly established Analytics division, where he will drive the strategic and operational advancement of our data analysis and reporting capabilities.”
