Swiss Re appoints ex-QBE to global head of P&C solutions as Schuh departs
Swiss Re has appointed Pranav Pasricha as global head of P&C solutions, succeeding Eric Schuh who is leaving the reinsurer towards the end of 2020 to "pursue a new exciting challenge" outside the group.
Pasricha is currently the CEO of Intellect SEEC, an insurance technology company offering data, machine learning and cloud-based solutions to commercial P&C and life insurance clients globally. Prior to that, he was responsible for strategy, technology and operations for QBE Insurance across Australia Asia Pacific, leading the build-up of its eBusiness capabilities and digital transformation of underwriting and claims.
In his new role, Pasricha will report to Jason Richards, head casualty underwriting reinsurance, and become a member of the casualty leadership team. He will be based in Armonk, US.
"In Pranav Pasricha we found a very strong successor to lead our P&C Solutions team. His experience of working in the insurtech environment over the past seven years will be a big asset as we continue to develop new innovative solutions that meet our clients' needs," said Richards. "I sincerely regret Eric's departure and would like to thank him for his exceptional contribution over the past 12 years across various key roles, including Head of Business Development for Asia and Head of Investor Relations. I wish him all the best for his private and professional future."
