Seasoned finance professional Prateek Maheshwari has joined Hannover Re India as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Maheshwari transitioned to the Indian branch from Hannover Life Re of Australasia, in Sydney, where he most recently served as Management Accountant for nearly four years.

This appointment marks a homecoming of sorts for the executive, who is no stranger to the Indian re/insurance landscape. Before his stint in Sydney, he served as a Finance Manager for Hannover Rusk SE, India Branch.

Before this, he served as a Finance Manager for Munich Re India Services, and was a Senior Manager Tax for Thingna & Contractor prior to that.

Maheshwari’s appointment is one of Hannover Re’s most recent leadership updates. This includes the recent naming of Kun Huang as Chief Executive Officer of the company’s Shanghai Branch.
