SCOR reveals new CFO and deputy CEO to set stage for growth with Thierry Léger

Global reinsurance giant  SCOR has picked a new chief financial officer and deputy chief executive officer with its current CFO leaving the group to pursue new professional opportunities.

François de Varenne (pictured), interim CEO of SCOR from January 26, 2023, to April 30, 2023, and executive committee member in charge of investments, technology, transformation and group corporate finance, is appointed group CFO and deputy CEO (directeur général adjoint).

De Varenne will keep his previous responsibilities and will be taking on the financial management of the group with immediate effect.

Ian Kelly, previously CFO of SCOR, is leaving the group to pursue new professional opportunities.

Thierry Léger, chief executive officer of SCOR, said: “I have decided to entrust François de Varenne with new and important responsibilities within the Executive Committee. François has successfully led the Group on an interim basis over the past three months. He knows the company inside out and has a perfect grasp of the financial mechanisms of all our activities. I have every confidence in him to help me write this new chapter in SCOR’s history.”

Léger added: “I would like to thank Ian Kelly for his contribution to the transformation of the Finance function, particularly during the transition to IFRS 17, and wish him every success in the next stage of his career.”
