Swiss Re is launching a new alternative capital solutions unit to encompass its activities in insurance-linked securities and retrocessional hedging and execution.
The unit is set to launch on 1 July, with senior employee, Mirjam Wiget, leading the team.
Wiget has worked at Swiss Re for more than 15 years, having joined the company in 2011 as a Senior Treasury Officer.
She worked her way up through the roles of head group performance management, co-head group strategy and performance management, and most recently became the head group strategy and FP&A in 2022.
