la Mobilière

Chief Financial Officer Peter Brawand retiring

Mardi, le 26 Septembre 2023

La Mobilière’s long-standing CFO, Peter Brawand, is taking early retirement at the end of May 2024. He has successfully steered the insurance company’s finances for almost 20 years.  

When Peter Brawand, 58, presents the annual results of la Mobilière for the twentieth time next spring, he will be doing so for the last time. The business economist (lic.oec. HSG) and qualified auditor has been in charge of the company’s finances since 1 June 2004. This includes the Mobilière Group’s accounting, controlling, risk management and financial communications. Among other things, he has established today’s planning and reporting processes and the corporate strategy development process and introduced the Swiss Solvency Test (SST) and economic value management. Furthermore, as a member of the Executive Board, he has been Deputy CEO since 2014.  
 
The premium volume has risen by CHF 2 billion to CHF 4.5 billion during Peter Brawand’s term of office. Capital and reserves have tripled to CHF 6 billion – a figure that reflects the company’s security and stability. In order to manage the financial processes more digitally, a new standard software from SAP was recently introduced. At the same time, the last 20 years have also been shaped by the financial crisis in 2008, the low-interest rate period, acquisitions, the corona years and increasing regulation.  
 
Michèle Rodoni, CEO of la Mobilière: «We deeply regret Peter Brawand’s intent but at the same time understand his personal decision to resign after 20 years as CFO. He has significantly shaped our strategy of profitable above-market growth and made a decisive contribution to steering la Mobilière also through difficult times. There is nothing that escapes his trained eye: he ensures transparency at all times and makes sure that we keep our risks under control. We would already like to thank him today for his many years of trustworthy and successful work and wish him all the best.» 
 
Peter Brawand: «I’m proud to have had the opportunity to contribute to la Mobilière’s success over the last 20 years. All these years have been very valuable for me, both professionally and personally. It has been an interesting and instructive time for me, full of challenges and opportunities. I will always look back with pleasure on this period. I would like to thank all my colleagues for their support and the Executive Board and Board of Directors for their trust.»  
 
The search for a successor has been initiated.
