Joachim Masur appointed to the Board of Directors of the Helsana Group

Shareholders elected Joachim Masur (55) to the Board of Directors at today’s General Meeting of the Helsana Group. He replaces Daniel Loup (72), who did not stand for re-election. In securing Joachim Masur, the strategic supervisory body of the Helsana Group gains an experienced financial and insurance expert as well as a visionary thinker who will strengthen the company, particularly in the areas of risk and audit.

Chairman of the Board of Directors Prof. Thomas D. Szucs was pleased with the election of Joachim Masur: “As our environment becomes increasingly complex and regulated, potential risks are also becoming more complicated. With his experience and expertise, Joachim Masur will help us secure our governance and compliance in a changing environment.”

Joachim Masur was CEO of Zurich Switzerland between 2012 and 2018. Prior to that, he held various management positions in the areas of auditing and consulting at KPMG and elsewhere.

Daniel Loup was a member of the Board of Directors of the Helsana Group from 2011, and served as a member of the Investment Committee. After ten successful years, he has decided to step down from the Board of Directors. “Daniel Loup has been a key influence on our investment strategy and activities for a decade. He has also been very committed to the customer focus of our organisation and to further developing our corporate insurance products. We sincerely thank him for his commitment and wish him all the best for the future,” said Prof. Thomas D. Szucs, on behalf of the entire Board of Directors.
