In addition, Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva, was elected as a new Board member at
the Statutory Assembly of the Association on 11 November.
Christian Mumenthaler said: "I feel privileged to take on this role at such a
crucial time for both our industry and society more broadly, as re/insurers
mobilise to confront immense challenges, namely climate change and the after
effects of COVID-19. I thank Charles Brindamour for his outstanding leadership
over the past three years. Under his Chairmanship, The Geneva Association has
deeply transformed. Through its rich portfolio of research and dialogue
activities, the organisation makes an essential contribution to the debate on
strengthening the world's resilience to global risks. I look forward to further
increasing the impact we have for all our stakeholders."
Lee Yuan Siong commented: "It is an honour to be appointed Vice Chairman of The
Geneva Association. The enormous positive difference that insurance can bring
to the lives of our communities has never been more relevant than it is today.
I look forward to collaborating closely with Christian and members of the Board
as we work together to address the global strategic and risk management issues
facing our industry, while playing our part in the transition to a better, more
sustainable future."
Amanda Blanc said: "I look forward to working with Christian, contributing to
the Geneva Association agenda and supporting the critical role which the global
insurance industry plays in the resilience of our economy and society."
Jad Ariss, Managing Director of The Geneva Association said: "It has been my
privilege to work with Charles Brindamour since I joined the organisation in
2019. I am very pleased that Christian Mumenthaler has accepted to become the
Chairman of The Geneva Association and am grateful to the Board for running the
succession smoothly. I look forward to working with Christian as new Chairman
and Lee Yuan Siong as new Vice Chairman. I also warmly welcome Amanda Blanc as
new Board member. Together with the rest of the Board we will ensure The Geneva
Association – through its programme of research, discussions and outreach –
continues to provide meaningful support to the insurance sector in its mission
to make the world a more sustainable, equitable and resilient place."
