VIG Re reveals board changes as Rowicki steps down

Czech Republic-based reinsurer VIG Re has announced that Tomasz Rowicki is stepping down at the end of the year, with Johannes Martin Hartmann taking over his board responsibilities for assumed reinsurance business on an interim basis.

Rowicki, a member of the board of directors, will resign in order to take up a new management position within a company of Vienna Insurance Group in Poland, effective January 1, 2021.

Until Rowicki’s successor is appointed, his board responsibilities for assumed reinsurance business will be taken over on an interim basis by the CEO and chairman of the board Hartmann.

Hartmann said: “Since Tomasz joined VIG Re´s board in 2017, he made a significant contribution to the development of our business, especially in the CEE region. I know Tomasz for more than 15 years and always appreciated his enthusiasm to take on new challenges and to drive the company forward. I am glad that we had the opportunity to work together for the last four years, Tomasz was an excellent complement to our management. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him for his significant contribution at VIG Re and wish him every success in his future professional career.”

Rowicki adds: “After nine years of international assignments, I decided to accept an offer from VIG for a new management position in Poland. This will allow me to be closer to my family in Warsaw again. I very much appreciated working together with my board colleagues Martin and Ivana as well as the team across the Company. I enjoyed the international scope of reinsurance business and the great company culture of VIG Re. I am sure the Company will further grow and prosper in the upcoming years and proud that I had a chance to play my role there during the past years.”
