Munich Re announced Wednesday that CEO Joachim Wenning will retire at the end of the year and be succeeded Jan. 1 by Chief Financial Officer Christoph Jurecka.
For personal reasons, Mr. Wenning does not want to continue in his role on the board of management beyond Dec. 31, Munich Re said in a statement. He took the helm as CEO in 2017.
Mr. Jurecka joined Munich Re in 2011, initially as a member of the board of management of Ergo Group AG. He joined Munich Re’s board of management as CFO in 2019.
Andrew Buchanan, CFO of Munich Re’s reinsurance business, will succeed Mr. Jurecka as CFO, effective Jan. 1. Mr. Buchanan joined Munich Re in 2011.
Robin Johnson has been appointed chief technology officer, effective Aug. 1. Mr. Johnson joined Munich Re in 2017 as chief information officer for its reinsurance business, adding the role of CTO on the board of management of Ergo Group AG in 2023.
“The changes to the board of management set the course for Munich Re’s sustained success,” Nikolaus von Bomhard, chair of the supervisory board, said in the statement.
