After absorbing the impacts of COVID, SCOR Global P&C approaches 2021 with a positive outlook and is making a number of changes to better accompany this anticipated improving market.
 
We aim at being more agile to faster adapt to the evolutions of markets with different levels of socioeconomic maturity, varied reinsurance market dynamics and increasing local regulatory pressures. In this context, we have decided to reinforce our regional structures to promote stronger regional views across all the P&C functions and platforms and to tailor our global strategies to the local realities.
 
This has led us to create a new position of P&C Regional Head - of EMEA and the Americas respectively - on top of our existing APAC organization, and to re-organize the reinsurance teams into four different regions with more homogenous client needs, i.e. Europe, North America, APAC Mature markets, and Fast-Growth markets. 
 
On a global scale, the changes within the Reinsurance Treaty management team also include the creation of a Global Chief Client Officer to reinforce the internal infrastructure around client management. Other transversal organizations are being strengthened to back this reorganization and to support SCOR Global P&C’s focus areas for further development and improvement.
 
With these changes we want to offer our clients the solutions and the services that matter to them, while building more focused synergies among our local teams.
