PartnerRe makes leadership appointment for Canadian business

Bermuda-based reinsurer PartnerRe has appointed André Piché as president of its Canadian life & health operations.

Piché joined PartnerRe in 2012 and has most recently served as chief business development officer, life & health. He has spent the majority of his career in the life reinsurance industry - in pricing various types of life and health products, working on new product development, building relationships with client companies, and in leadership positions.

In his new role, Piché will assume overall responsibility for the Canadian life & health business, reporting to Alan Ryder, CEO of North America Life.

“André has been instrumental in the growth of our Canadian business. He has successfully led our business development resulting in strong client relationships, an increase in PartnerRe’s market position and the development of our portfolio,” said Ryder. “I am confident that under André’s leadership our Canadian business will continue to deliver on our commitments to provide our clients with the reinsurance solutions and service they value and our shareholders with attractive returns. I wish André every success in his new role.”
