He brings unparalleled experience, having covered SCOR as a research analyst for more than 25 years. As we are entering the execution phase of our strategic plan, Forward 2026, his expertise will be extremely valuable in terms of continuing to engage proactively with shareholders and sharing the Group’s roadmap for value creation with the market. On behalf of the Executive Committee, and speaking personally, I would also like to thank Yves for his significant contribution to the Group’s financial communication over the past two years, more particularly for building our new reporting framework under IFRS 17 and for preparing the 2022 and 2023 Investor Days.”
