Schroders hires Stephan Ruoff as new Deputy Head of Schroder Secquaero

Stephan Ruoff, until most recently Group CEO of Tokio Millennium Re, will assume the newly-created role of Deputy Head of Schroder Secquaero in November.

Stephan brings with him long-standing and extensive underwriting and management experience. As the former CEO of Tokio Millennium Re, which acted as a transformer for many ILS managers, he has a broad and deep knowledge of the alternative capital market for reinsurance.

Stephan held different roles at the Munich Re Group between 1997 and 2011, having spent time in Taiwan, Paris and at the Head Office. He then moved to Tokio Millennium Re, where he was initially CEO of the European branch in Zurich, then Group CUO (Worldwide) & Head of Europe  and ultimately Group CEO since 2015, following the redomiciliation of Tokio Millenium Re from Bermuda to Switzerland. He holds advanced degrees in Chemical Engineering and a diploma in “Management of Insurance Companies” from the University of St. Gallen.

Andreas Markwalder, CEO Schroder Investment Management (Switzerland) AG said:

“The addition of a senior industry leader such as Stephan Ruoff to our team underlines Schroders commitment to being one of the leading institutional providers of investment solutions in the insurance linked solutions marketplace.”
