Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, the commercial insurance arm of Swiss Re Group, has appointed Daniel Vetter to the newly created role of Head of Excess & Surplus (E&S) for North America, effective from 1 January 2019.
He will now be responsible for the strategy and growth of the company’s E&S Property and Casualty (P&C) business, as well as for establishing Financial & Professional lines within the unit.
Based in New York, Vetter will also oversee Swiss Re Corporate Solutions’ dedicated Sales and Underwriting teams across the region.
Vetter has more than 20 years’ re/insurance industry experience and joined Swiss Re in 2000.
He has since held various P&C underwriting leadership positions, both with the Corporate Solutions unit and its predecessor organisations.
Most recently, Vetter served as Head of Casualty and led the build-out of Corporate Solutions’ Primary insurance capabilities.
“With Daniel’s appointment, we gain a leader with unique technical expertise, extensive relationships and local market knowledge,” said Ivan Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for North America at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions.
“Creating our standalone E&S unit less than a year ago, I’m confident that Daniel’s leadership and perspective will help us steer our growth within E&S Property and Casualty and fully build our Financial & Professional Lines offering,” he added.
Swiss Re Corporate Solutions currently serves clients and brokers from 20 offices throughout North America.
