PartnerRe has named Jerome Matrundola as CEO of Life & Health, Asia-Pacific, to lead PartnerRe’s Life and Health business operations in that region effective September 11, 2017.
Matrundola will work closely with PartnerRe’s existing teams in Singpore and Zurich to grow the firm’s life and health Asia-Pacific reinsurance market.
PartnerRe said his appointment underlines the firm’s commitment to the region, which is leading the world in growth of demand for life and health insurance solutions as expanding economies raise increasing numbers out of poverty and into the middle-income range.
Matrundola will be based in PartnerRe’s Hong Kong office reporting to Marc Archambault, CEO Life & Health and Group Executive Committee member.
Commenting on Matrundola’s appointment, Archambault said; “I am delighted to welcome a reinsurance professional of Jerome’s calibre to lead our team.
“We believe in the strong growth potential of the insurance market in Asia-Pacific now and in the future. PartnerRe’s unique position as a global, privately owned, pure-play reinsurer, combined with our local presence and market knowledge means we are well positioned to support the advancement of insurance in the region.
“This new position further enhances our ability to respond to the needs of our clients in Asia-Pacific.”
Matrundole joins from SCOR where he acted as Head of North Asia and Regional Partnerships based in Hong Kong and a member of the Asia-Pacific Senior Management Team.
He brings 14 years of experience in reinsurance in a variety of roles and regions, including strategy development, and both business and market development through innovation across many markets spanning Europe and Asia-Pacific.
He is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.
