On 10 March 2015, Denis Kessler, Chairman & CEO of the SCOR group, was awarded the 2014 Prix du Stratège in Paris by Emmanuel Macron, French Minister of the Economy, Industry and the Digital Sector

 

Each year, the Prix du Stratège, created in 1989, is awarded to the industrial and financial strategy deemed to be the most relevant. 

 

The Prix du Stratège is a tribute to the strategy followed by SCOR’s management team, led by Denis Kessler, which has made the Group the 5th largest reinsurer in the world. 

 

In June 2014, Denis Kessler was named “Reinsurance Company CEO of the Year” at the Reactions London Market Awards. He was named “Outstanding Contributor of the year – Risk” by Insurance Insider magazine in September 2014. Also in 2014, he was elected by the members of the International Insurance Society to join the Insurance Hall of Fame, the highest honour in the global insurance industry. 

 

 

Denis Kessler, Chairman & CEO of SCOR, comments: “I am very honoured to receive this prestigious award, in which I would like to include my Executive Committee, all my colleagues throughout the world and my Board of Directors. The recovery and restructuring of SCOR to create a Tier 1 reinsurer has been an extraordinary, intense and exciting adventure.”
