Global reinsurer Swiss Re has appointed Yusuke Matsumoto as interim head of reinsurance Asia Pacific.
Matsumoto has extensive experience in business and product development and has a proven track record of underwriting and building high-performing teams.
He joined Swiss Re in June 2013 in a client markets role and was subsequently promoted to interim property underwriter.
Most recently, he was Asia Pacific Head of Adjunct Property Japan/Regional Underwriting and Portfolio Steering, working closely with colleagues in the region and Swiss Re’s wider global Adjunct community.
Swiss Re also recently announced results for the first quarter of 2026, with net profit of US$1.5 billion, up 19% from US$1.3 billion in the same period last year, driven by strong performance across all business segments, lower catastrophe losses and strong investment performance.
